Crusade

A Crusade is nothing short of a military undertaking of the Church against a dire threat. Crusades are never called lightly and at least a majority of a region's Sanhedrin must support it for it to be seen as 'official' in the eyes of the Church's followers. Even the smallest Crusade must involve dozens if not hundreds of Adepts, multiple Squads, who will form a 'camp' in a designated area where they will begin to prepare for war. 
The largest and greatest Crusades are nationwide affairs, conveniently hidden from the public often under the guise of natural disasters or ongoing social problems (protests, minority uprisings, gang warfare, terrorist attack, you name it). They are only called against truly dire threats such as the opening of a Grand Hellgate, the rising of a Greater Demon, the discovery of a powerful Immortal, an invading Supernatural foe, anything the IAS would classify as a national threat.
