(U) Gangs in the Military and Government Institutions<br />
(U) Survey respondents indicate that known or<br />
suspected gang members from more than 100<br />
jurisdictions applied for positions or gained<br />
employment at any level of the US military, law<br />
enforcement, corrections, or the judiciary over<br />
the past two years. 53 Of those, the US military<br />
was identified as the most common, followed<br />
by corrections, law enforcement, and judiciary.<br />
(U) Military-trained gang members pose a<br />
serious threat to law enforcement and to the<br />
public. They learn combat tactics in the military,<br />
then return home to utilize these new skills<br />
against rival gangs or law enforcement. Military<br />
training of individual gang members could<br />
ultimately result in more sophisticated and<br />
deadly gangs, as well as deadly assaults on law<br />
enforcement officers.<br />
