Racial Volunteer Force

The Racial Volunteer Force is a splinter group of Combat 18 formed in the United Kingdom in 2002 by Mark Atkinson and John Hill due to their frustration with the leadership of Will Browning. Although maintaining a distinct identity the group retains links to C18. [ [http://www.meta-religion.com/Extremism/White_extremism/Combat_18/combat_18.htm Metareligion article on Combat 18] ]

The group was targeted by the authorities due to fears that they were stockpiling weapons and as a result a number of arrests were made in 2003 [ [http://www.meta-religion.com/Extremism/White_extremism/Combat_18/combat_18.htm Metareligion article on Combat 18] ] . In the resulting case five defendants, including Atkinson and Hill, pleaded guilty to conspiracy whilst a sixth, November 9th Society leader Kevin Quinn pleaded guilty to possession of the banned booklet "The Longest Hatred".

The RVF has also maintained links with Ulster loyalism and it has been claimed that supporters of the group are involved in sheltering Johnny Adair in Bolton. [ [http://www.meta-religion.com/Extremism/White_extremism/Combat_18/combat_18.htm Metareligion article on Combat 18] ]

The RVF itself claims to be an international organisation led by a European Council and states that it aims for unity between all National Socialists and white nationalists (including C18) in an alliance against the supposed Zionist Occupation Government.
