Extremist Website “Warrior Up” Publishes U.S. Munitions Infrastructure Guide, Encourages Sabotage
Executive Summary
The anarchist website Warrior Up has resurfaced with an alarming trove of tactical information targeting the U.S. military’s munitions supply chain. A detailed exposé posted on May 29 outlines the location, function, and logistical links of Joint Munitions Command (JMC) sites across the U.S., accompanied by sabotage tutorials and ideological justifications for direct action against rail and arms infrastructure. Analysts warn the site’s reactivation could inspire copycat attacks amid rising anti-state, anti-war sentiment linked to U.S. military support for Israel.
Analysis
Once dormant, the radical anti-state and eco-extremist website Warrior Up has relaunched with renewed vigor, merging technical specificity with incendiary political rhetoric. At the heart of this new content is a document mapping out JMC production, storage, and distribution sites from Oklahoma to Pennsylvania, meticulously detailing how each facility connects to the military’s STRACNET rail network. The guide focuses particularly on the eastern half of the country, citing these regions’ proximity to major Atlantic ports and their critical role in weapons transport—especially to Israel.
Beyond mere mapping, the site offers actionable instructions for disrupting rail lines, including tutorials on copper wire “shunting” to mimic train presence and halt traffic, loosening track bolts to risk derailments, and non-electrical sabotage with epoxy, spray foam, or glue. The site references Russian partisan tactics and past U.S.-based sabotage incidents—like the 2020 arrests of two women for attempting to disrupt BNSF rail lines in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en.
The post is embedded within an extremist ideological framework, portraying U.S. citizens as unwitting enablers of genocide through tax dollars and silence. The authors frame the U.S. military’s munitions network as the “soft underbelly of empire,” ripe for disruption, and explicitly call for sabotage as a form of vengeance for U.S.-backed Israeli actions in Gaza. These appeals are not abstract—they cite real logistics data, such as the specific bridges, rail segments, and chokepoints that munitions travel through, and even the contractors and chemical suppliers involved in shell and explosive production.
The re-emergence of Warrior Up occurs within a broader digital revival of sabotage culture. The site’s archives now include arson manuals, anti-technology zines, and translated Earth Liberation Front guides, updated with modern counter-surveillance techniques and calls for decentralized, anonymous action. Its tone is no longer one of passive resistance but aggressive confrontation, urging actors to “turn your bayonet on the soft underbelly of empire.”
With detailed geospatial and rail logistics maps already circulating, the site’s emphasis on infrastructure—rather than civilians—poses unique counterterrorism challenges. Law enforcement agencies may need to reassess the balance between public transparency in defense logistics and the growing threat of ideologically driven sabotage.
