After it was set up, the CSA began targeting local and federal agents, including the sheriff that was part of the later siege on the organization and the U.S. Attorney, [Asa Hutchinson], who would negotiate a peaceful conclusion to the siege and later prosecute CSA members. They would monitor their homes and actually practice mock [[assassination]]s of the targets with scopes. They obtained many weapons for their training. By the end of their operations, the [[Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms]] (ATF) obtained 155 Kruggerands, one live light antitank rocket, 94 longuns, 30 handguns, and 35 sawed-off shotguns and machine guns, and one heavy machine gun. Plenty of the arsenal was stolen. In 1983, CSA members attempted to dynamite a natural gas pipeline, without success.
The CSA also had links with other radical organizations, including the [[Aryan Brotherhood]], and [[The Order (group)|The Order]], which were both dangerous anti-Semitic organizations. Many of their members were seen travelling in and out of the compound, and after search of the compound, several stolen vehicles including one belonging to The Order were recovered.
