The Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance, or B.S.A.A. for short, is an organization founded by the Global Pharmaceutical Consortium at the request of the U.S. Government. Officially backed by the United Nations, their main purpose is to combat, prevent, and exterminate bio-terrorism.

One of their duties is to track down B.O.W.s and other viral weaponry developed by Umbrella that is being illegally sold on the black market to various bio-terrorists.

The B.S.A.A. have advanced technology and a number of skilled personnel in their ranks. There are branches stationed around the world, including Africa, Europe, and America.

Members of the B.S.A.A. receive special training to combat B.O.W.s and the infected, which sets them apart from the regular military. The B.S.A.A. headquarters are located in the United Kingdom.

HistoryEdit

The B.S.A.A. was founded by Jill Valentine; Chris Redfield; Clive R. O'Brian and a further eight others shortly after the fall of Umbrella, to combat the increasing numbers of B.O.W. being sold on the black market.^[1][2] Their funding came from the Global Pharmaceutical Consortium, a group of highly-influential medical companies, who wanted to distance themselves from Umbrella by condemning bioterrorism in a much more obvious way. Due to their successes and the high demand for anti-B.O.W. assignments, the organization would soon expanded greatly in numbers, with headquarters stationed around the world.^[3]

The B.S.A.A. participated in the 2004 Terragrigia Panic, but reluctantly abandoned the city along with the American-led Federal Bioterrorism Commission.^[4] The following year, the F.B.C. director, General Morgan Lansdale, was unmasked as the calculating mastermind behind the outbreak. With his arrest, the F.B.C. fell from grace and was soon after absorbed into a remodelled B.S.A.A., now under UN control.^[5]

In 2006, the B.S.A.A. discovered the location of former Umbrella CEO Oswell E. Spencer's European hideout. With the intention of capturing Spencer, Chris and Jill were dispatched to the mansion later that year. However, the mission did not go as planned. Upon arrival, Chris and Jill encountered zombies and B.O.W.s. They eventually found Spencer lying dead, murdered by Albert Wesker. After a one-sided battle, Jill tackled Wesker out the window to save Chris, and the two fell into the rocky chasm below.

After 3 months of searching the coast, no bodies were found and the two were declared dead. The B.S.A.A. erected a gravestone in the memory of Jill, adding her name to the list of operatives killed in the line of duty. Chris is shaken by the loss of his partner. She is in-fact alive and taken by Wesker so he can exact his revenge upon her. Her body is used as a testing ground for his latest endeavour,Uroboros.

In 2008, Sheva Alomar joined the B.S.A.A., and was assigned to the West African branch. She is taken under the wing of Josh Stone. The two become close friends.

In March 2009,^[1] Chris and Sheva are dispatched to investigate a black market deal involving Ricardo Irving and stop a mysterious virus from spreading. Chris receives information implying that Jill may be alive and strays from the mission to find her. Eventually, Jill Valentine is found alive and freed from Wesker, whose plans are thwarted, and whom is subsequently eliminated. The Plaga outbreak in Kijuju is stopped though loses to the organization are heavy; survivors include; Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Sheva Alomar and Josh Stone.

In 2013, the B.S.A.A. was deployed into the Chinese Warzone in Eastern Europe, Edonia, where a Bio-terror attack had occured. Several members of Chris Redfield's team were killed by an unidentified female bio-terrorist, only he and Piers Nivans survived. Six months later they were deployed in the Chinese city of Lanshiang to contain the spread of the C-Virus and capture any Bio-terrorists responsible.

Weapons and EquipmentEdit

The standard weapons for B.S.A.A. operatives are the SIG 556 and the Beretta 92FS, though some have specific weapons individual to themselves; such as Jill Valentine, who exclusively uses a Px4 handgun. They use many other weapons including shotguns, sniper rifles and machine guns. A fallen B.S.A.A. soldier in the marshlands also had an S&W M29, and those hanging from Ndesu's waist band are carrying other pistols.

By 2013, The B.S.A.A. have adapted the use of the FN SCAR, Chris Redfield and Piers Nevans, are both seen using it.

DeploymentEdit

B.S.A.A. teams consist of two separate groups, the first being the Special Operations Unit (SOU), and the second being the Special Operations Agents (SOA).

The main purpose of the SOU is to infiltrate the base of suspected bio-terrorists, directly combat any B.O.W.s or other threats, and capture the bio-terrorists.

The SOU teams are generally made up of twelve members, assigned in three four-man units. This allows for a large amount of flexibility, as a unit may be assigned to another team for a specific mission.

The SOAs are most often a single person, often assigned to investigate suspicious activities. They are the eyes and the ears of the B.S.A.A., and are usually referred to as simply 'Agents'.

In some cases, an agent may be assigned a partner for a difficult mission, or as backup.

Members of the SOA are higher ranked and more skilled than SOU members, with Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine being prime examples. They have the right to enter themselves for missions in any branch of the organisation, rather than simply those from their own region. However, this increased skill level may only be in terms of psychological state and situation handling aptitude. In combat skills and abilities, they may in some cases be matched by SOU members. In certain cases SOA members may not even be involved in direct combat, and act more like spies, an Example being Reynard Fisher.

It is also possible that SOAs are chosen to lead the SOU due to their higher experience. It may also be possible that all members are designated as agents.
