Integration moves the large factions into the state and removes the most attributable part of their apparatus. Reuters reporting describes a second chain that does not pass through them.
The established model
One chain, running through the faction
Consequence: the organisation is the single point of failure. Seize its depots, sanction its leaders and absorb its fighters, and the capability is removed with it.
The emerging model
Two chains, only one of which passes through the faction
Consequence: dismantling the visible organisation no longer reaches the capability. The cell count is not fixed — the form is cheap to replicate, and each new one arrives without a parent organisation to seize. Systemic dismantlement gets harder as individual cells get easier to eliminate.
