Two known Factions of the Brotherhood have broken off from the Oakland Chapter. One Faction aptly is named the "Dustbowl Brotherhood" and exerts its power and influence Doctrine in the Central region of the New California Republic with Recon teams and Expeditionary forces in Stockton, Lodi, Modesto, and Merced.
