The California BOS has been demolished you realized? The Majority of the BOS-NCR War was fought within Califonia and is the very reasoning for the Mojave Chapter's existance. They were part of Eliajah's Exepedition to secure Hoover Dam, Helios etc to provide needed resources to continue the fight. Didn't matter in the end though.
Anywho the BOS is nearly a dead beast and that is in my opinion for the best.
So? They still exist, the possibility of reinforcements is not out of the question. In fact the battles may have stopped in the West, but that doesn't mean the war is over. There was no treaty, nothing whatsoever. I don't remember anyone saying that the Mojave Brotherhood existed because of the war. I think it'd be pretty stupid of them to send men over to the Mojave when they're fighting a war in California. If I remember correctly Christine came from California, not the Mojave.
They're not dead, and the fact that everyone wants them dead is evidence that they're a threat, in the Mojave and in California.
Eh looking back on some of my sources i apparently did mispeak, Elijah was the elder of the Mojave although that conflicts somewhat with the accounts Veronica gave in game...But that is a matter for me to hash out with the fine folks of the FO wiki.
The War within the Core Region is still somewhat ongoing according to Sawyer but the purpose for that statement is clear.
He wants the BOS to be around in the future, Makes sense i guess if you write storyboards for factions and what have you that you would still want them to exist, but for the most part and even his lore supports me on this.
As far as the WestCoast is concerned the BOS is dead.
An Except from the FO wiki which i incidently wrote the Initial description of ages ago.
The Brotherhood enjoyed a considerable advantage during the early years of the war, as their advanced technology and high standards of training allowed them to inflict tremendous losses on the NCR's military. However, the NCR had a far larger pool of manpower from which to draw troops, while the Brotherhood remained a selective organization, allowing the NCR to easily replace its losses while the Brotherhood became desperate. The Brotherhood fought fiercely, but in the end the NCR's numbers prevailed, and the Brotherhood forces were overwhelmed, forcing them into hiding. Having lost the surface, the Brotherhood prepared themselves to fight to the death as the NCR began to invade their bunkers.As the Mojave Chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel operated freely among the wastes around
New Vegas for several years, they were extremely frustrated when the NCR dispatched troops to the Mojave, although they initially restrained themselves from getting involved in the war. In
2274, the NCR set its sights on the
Mojave chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel, led by Elder
Elijah, and sought control of their main base,
HELIOS One. In
2276, the NCR
attacked HELIOS One and Elijah ordered his troops to protect the facility. After taking heavy losses, the Brotherhood retreated to
Hidden Valley and have since remained in exile. The NCR success at HELIOS One is credited to their superior numbers (a 20:1 ratio), and the difficulty of defending the location.
fallout.wikia.com/wiki/NCR-Brotherhood_WarAs i said Sawyer has confirmed that the core regions war is ongoing but again to me? That's just him trying to scoop some fragments of the orginization together so they can be present when FO takes us back to where it began and where it is best

The Mojave, California and the Core Regions. Considering the NCR has been pumping men into this fight for decades and considering that the war was looking bleak when the NCR was actually penetrating into their bunkers after their initial successes on the surface (after irradiating their gold supply and crippling the NCR economy to the present day) You have a very bleak, unwinnable situation for them.
Even with Caesar bearing down on them in the Mojave and losing more then a thousand troops a year in the Mojave due to the war with the Legion, You still have possessing the largest armed forces outside of the lands of Caesar and considering this is a war of numbers? Well...It won't end well for them.
So short of the East Coast BOS magically appearing one day and raining down orbital strikes on the NCR's strongpoints and major fortifications the death of the Western Brotherhood is a matter of time, a situation of when rather then if. So assuming that the BOS chapters back within California are still active in engagement against the NCR that is an unwinnable situation for them.
Heck those power armor wearing idiots will still be shooting at the NCR mooks until the Legionaries arrive and strap both of butts to the cross.
