1. Earth Liberation Front: Leadership and Organizational Structure Chris Curran

2. Leaders? No identifiable leaders or chain of command ELF used as an ideological standard Leaderless Resistance Earth Liberation Front Press Office

3. Cell Structure Autonomous with little to no knowledge of other cells Cooperation among cells rare Lone wolf attackers and small familiar groups Internal recruitment not encouraged New recruits are urged to create their own cells instead

4. Advantages Decentralized cell structure makes infiltration difficult, and if successful, generally fruitless The incapacitation of one cell does not effect other cells Lack of communication between cells allows ELF to act without internal conflict

5. Disadvantages ELF unable to police the actions of its cells No quality control
