Background Information
About one in five applicants to white supremacist group Patriot Front claim to have current or former military status, according to archives of the group's private chats released by nonprofit media organization Unicorn Riot. The white supremacist group published 87 applications to Patriot Front on open-source chat platform Rocket Chat. Out of those applications, 18 said they were current or former members of the U.S. military. One applicant said he currently worked for the Department of Homeland Security.

Patriot Front is a rebrand of neo-Nazi group Vanguard America, which attended the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Va. The group is "one of the most prominent white supremacist groups" in the U.S., according to a release from the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The group has created an image of Americana, bolstered by racism, antisemitism and neo-fascism, according to the SPLC. Some members of Patriot Front have demonstrated "an open admiration" for Nazism and national socialism. According to NPR's Jan. 6 database, about 14% of those charged in relation to the Capitol siege have ties to the military or law enforcement.
