Oragnized crime would bloom and die at the same time.

Organized crime is by its nature an underground organization, they have all the infrastructure in place for their operation to flourish as they are already used to running under the surface of regular society. With that being said.....


They would flourish in the following ways:

The demand from the population at large for goods that are now unattainable. Well the underground crime networks that is what they do. So the netorks would have grow exponentialy.

The demand for vice outside most military instillations since most cities or major bases would become armed camps.

Government need for goods that the enemy has. <Refer to the Lord of War reference> It is not good for the government to deal with the enemy directly. So someone of the lowly sort well it is expected of them to deal with the hated enemy.

I would also say that intel operators would make alot of connections with the underworld crime organizations again because they have the connections to smuggle goods and people or INFORMATION. And of course they also deal with vice which is a good tool for blackmail in which to gain information.

The dying part of organizad crime:

Well, favors will need to be made. The network who is working for you will be supplied with arms, ammo and assets, so they will be stronger. And, the government and law enforcement will turn a blind eye to their operations since they after all are working for the good guys. And law enforcement will also crack down on the networks competition. Further counter intel assets will further be dedicated to dealing the other crime networks a savage blow to ensure they do not deal with the enemys intel assets. So crime networks not working for the gov will be eliminated when they are not useful.

Keep in mind, rules of engagement will be more lax so deadly force will be much more common. And of course in many situations they will be under martial law where criminals will end up in a a long drop with a short rope or a near wall and a squad of riflemen.
