The dismantling of a compromised cover identity, immediately followed by switching to a prepared alias to maintain security and operational flow.

In covert operations, your cover identity is more than a name and a fabricated passport – it’s a full alternate life. Built and layered with tradecraft, it’s how you blend and move through the world unnoticed. But when that cover is compromised, hanging on is a death sentence. That’s where the Burn Protocol comes into play.

[ REDACTED ]

You must be a member for access.

This protocol is a rite of passage for covert operatives. There’s no mourning for the cover. You respect it for keeping you alive and move on. It’s about control. You choose when to disappear, not your enemies. Good tradecraft means you’ve got a system in place: fallback IDs, emergency caches, safe routes, and silent contacts. When the fire starts, you don’t panic – you light the match yourself, and walk away without looking back.
