The Resistance is an organization fighting Skynet in a post-apocalyptic Earth, composed of an alliance of surviving professional military units and militias from all nations around the world. Its main purpose was to fight the Skynet and its troops, and to preserve the human race from total annihilation. The Resistance carried out many combat missions attacking factories and breaking humans out of Skynet Work Camps. To get even the battle, they steal weapons and reprograms the Terminators to help the Resistance.

Resistance soldiers wear red bands on their arms to symbolize blood. The symbol of the Resistance is a Red Double Helix (the shape of DNA).

HistoryEdit

With the date of Judgment Day changing, no date can be set to when the Resistance started. Though it can be inferred that it started soon after Judgment Day took place.

In Terminator Salvation timeline, it can be said that the Resistance was founded from remnants of world's military forces, who surviving officers lead from a Los Angeles class submarine in the form of a leading council of Generals and Admirals, with General Ashdown leading them. Sometime after the destruction of the Resistance Headquarters and Skynet Central, it can be assumed that John Connor, the commander of Tech-Com, has taken control of the Resistance.

As stated by Kyle Reese, the Resistance triumphed over Skynet, and in a last ditch effort the computer system sent back a Terminator to kill Sarah Connor. The Terminator

StructureEdit

The Resistance is composed of military combat units scattered across the world, all answering to the allied commander. A staff assists the allied commander in strategy, planning, and preparation. Communication between units is usually by encrypted communications.

Weapons, Equipment, and TacticsEdit

After Judgment Day, when Skynet's robotic forces began to kill off the surviving humans, the former human military forces began to fight back. In the case of the United States as well as the remnants of many other large and well-equipped countries use former military weapons, uniforms, body armor, vehicles, and aircraft in combination with newer plasma based energy weapons (copied, stolen or produced in captured Skynet factories) were used to fight Skynet worldwide. Some tactics were conventional, like Airborne Helicopter assaults, and others, like "Hit and Run" attacks were also used by Resistance forces.

The many years John Connor was trained by Sarah Connor, his mother, in the South and Central Americas has helped John in many ways, not just because of the combat skills he learned but the lifestyles and tactics as well. When John and his mother were training/hiding in Latin America, Sarah sought out any and everyone that could help teach her son. In the process, John and Sarah ended up living, training and fighting with many groups of guerrillas, paramilitary forces and freedom fighter-all of whom had extensive knowledge of fighting a larger, more numerous and better armed central enemy/government. The skills acquired by John in these various theaters of operations, in combination with tactics he learned from ex-U.S. Special Operations Force and British SAS personnel (whom his mother dated or he met after Judgment Day), his mother and his own personal combat oriented genius have allowed him to wage many styles of war (both conventional and unconventional) on Skynet and it's machines.

Weapons and equipments

Other SurvivorsEdit

Humans who did not join the military remnants became known as "Survivalists" who often ran and hid when confronted by Skynet, rather than fight. Others who took up arms often pretended to be in the Resistance, but rather, took advantage of other survivors, such as in gangs and thieves. Both of these survivor groups were considered civilians by the resistance.

In some futures, many humans have betrayed their own kind in order to work for the machines, and as a reward, allowed them to roam free at anytime, or be sent back in time to enjoy the world before it ends.
