Project Umbrella Translation
BSAA
In 2003, due to the bankruptcy of the pharmaceutical company Umbrella, B.O.W. (Bio Organic Weapon) development technology secretly studied by the company was leaked into illegal channels.
As a result, many subversive activities utilizing B.O.W.'s were carried out by organized crime and terrorist organizations around the world. For this reason, the Pharmaceutical Industry Association feared the public would hold them responsible, and so formed the anti-bioterrorism special ops unit "BSAA (Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance)."
The BSAA's initial formation was only a non-governmental organization of an elite few with knowledge on bioterror countermeasures, but as the years passed and the threat of bioterrorism increased, it was reorganized as a special ops unit under United Nations jurisdiction in order to make immediate responses to situations possible.
Due to becoming an official agency, they were issued power and authority in government-led foreign nations such as use of force and the rights to conduct investigations and make arrests. However, in many cases, the BSAA doesn't intervene in incidents within the United States.
These circumstances can be verified from a note Chris left in 2005.

"We've concluded our investigation into Harvardville Airport. However, the U.S. Government had mostly cleaned up the incident within a day, so we didn't learn much. All we've confirmed is that the t-Virus and G-Virus were involved in the incident.
In the U.S., they've got their own special counter-bioterrorism forces that've been fighting bioterrorism for quite a while since the Raccoon incident. Therefore, we at the BSAA are often forced to stand by when an incident occurs in the U.S.
In the case of the incident at the airport, it wasn't until the day after the incident that we were able to get to the scene. From our investigation I found out Claire was caught up in this incident. I contacted her in a panic but there didn't seem to be a problem, so I was relieved. There's no telling when bioterrorism equal to the Raccoon incident will occur in the United States. I wonder if there'll ever come a day when the BSAA and U.S. reach a compromise..."

BSAA
2003年、製薬会社アンブレラの倒産により、同企業が秘密裏に研究していたB.O.W.(Bio Organic Weapon)の開発技術が闇ルートに流出。
結果、世界各国のマフィアやテロ組織によって、B.O.W.を使用した破壊活動が数多く行われることになった。このことから、製薬企業連盟は世間からの責任追及を危惧し、対バイオテロ特殊部隊「ＢＳＡＡ（Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance）」を結成する。
結成当初のＢＳＡＡは、バイオテロ対策の知識を持つ少数精鋭の民間組織でしかなかったが、年を経るごとにバイオテロの件数や脅威が増していったことで、事態への即応が可能な、国連管轄の実働特殊部隊として再編される。
公的機関になったことで、彼らには政府が存在する他国での捜査権や逮捕権、それに伴う武力行使などの権限が与えられた。ただ、BSAAも、合衆国での事件には介入しないケースが多い。
その事情は、2005年にクリスが残した手記より確認できる。

「ハーバードヴィル空港の調査が終了した。とはいえ、事件から一日の間でほとんど合衆国政府によって片付けられており、得たものは少ない。事件にｔ－ウィルス、G-ウィルスの関与が認められたくらいか。
合衆国は、ラクーン事件以降、長い間バイオテロと戦い続けてきた経緯から、独自の対バイオテロ特殊部隊が存在する。そのため、俺たちBSAAは合衆国内で事件が発生したときには、待機を余儀なくされることが多い。
今回の空港での事件も、結局俺たちが現場へ入れたのは事件の翌日だった。調査の結果、クレアがこの事件に関わっていたらしい。慌てて連絡を取ったが、特に問題はないようで、安心した。いつ、合衆国でラクーン事件に匹敵するようなバイオテロが起こるか分からない。BSAAと合衆国が歩み寄る日は来るのだろうか･･･」

THE BSAA
In the wake of the Umbrella Corporation's dissolution in 2003, many other pharmaceutical companies saw their bio-organic weapons research enter the black market.
Whether in the hands of organized crime or terrorists, bioweapons were destroying lives around the world. In response to voices calling for action to be taken, the Global Pharmaceutical Consortium formed the antiterrorist task force known as the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA).
Initially, the BSAA was just a civilian organization with only advisory status,but as the threat posed by bioterrorism spread, the United Nations decided tosponsor the group in order to have a quick-response force that could deal with threats around the world. With its new sponsorship in place, the BSAA gained the authority to carry out investigations in countries the world over, and to make arrests wherever it is dispatched.
However, the BSAA is often asked not to intervene with incidents within the United States. The reasoning behind this can be seen in a note written by Chris in 2005.

The U.S. government has finished cleaning up the outbreak at Harvardville Airport. They didn't come up with much to help make sense of the incident other than the fact that the T-Virus and G-Virus were the cause of the zombies. They did a good job of cleaning up though. Only took them a day.
Not a big surprise, I suppose. The government has been dealing with these kinds of incidents ever since Raccoon City. I guess that's why the BSAA is never invited to the party. They've got their own bouncers. I just hope they give us a call when things get to be too much for them to handle on their own.
Claire was involved, but I got in touch with her and she seems to be OK. Had me worried.
