The U.S. Army’s annual unconventional warfare exercise Robin Sage is set to kick off across rural North and South Carolina this month, pitting Special Forces candidates against simulated guerillas fighting for the fictional nation of “Pineland.” The exercise is so realistic and spans such a large area that the U.S. Army has issued notices to local law enforcement agencies warning them not to mistake the exercise for a real insurrection, an error that has cost one soldier his life during a previous Robin Sage event.

Robin Sage is conducted annually by the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (SWCS) at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. This year’s Robin Sage will take place from January 22 to February 4 and will span across 25 counties in North Carolina and three counties in South Carolina. The exercise was first held in 1974 and is the culmination exercise (CULEX) — the final test in the U.S. Army’s Special Forces Qualification Course standing between candidates and their green berets. An Army release given to local outlets in NC and SC this week said that the exercise is designed to represent an “environment of political instability characterized by armed conflict, forcing Soldiers to analyze and solve problems to meet the challenges of this “real-world” training.”

The exercise is designed to simulate a special forces-led guerilla campaign against the forces of the “United Provinces of Atlantica,” a fictional island off America’s eastern seaboard. Candidates embed themselves with mock guerillas fighting on behalf of the “Republic of Pineland,” a United States ally. Members of the 1st Batallion, 1st Special Warfare Training Group have even published a 157-page fictional “history” book that provides a worldbuilding backstory for the exercise, titled Atlantica: A Concise History.

They should have them all read a few Kurt Schlichter novels....

Did it ever occur to the people planning these exercises that they might be training members of the resistance that they are trying to put down?

If I lived that close to the training exercise maybe they would need some real world Counter action that can randomly Spontaneously occur.

Robin Sage is run four times a year in central North Carolina. The current exercise ends Sunday.

So there is a current exercise going on right now with the next one scheduled to start Jan. 22?

What they’re really being trained for is to be the force-arm of the FBI and DOJ. The ‘victims’ aren’t really ‘insurgents’ when they are the freedom loving CITIZENs of this country. They didn’t come from anywhere. There the whole time and the government decides it can’t have that kind of freedom for its citizens anymore.

Two or three years ago the army was running around playing tyrant in the N GA mountains. Kicking people off public trails in the national forest and being general aholes on public land which they aren’t supposed to do. After a while they started noticing guys in full battle rattle watching them and shadowing them along the ridgetops. They moved on pretty quick. I see this year the military is steering clear of GA.

No one seems to realize that this is done every year for the training of the special forces troops, i.e., green berets.

What? And not take a perfectly lame opportunity to spout of knee-jerk reactions and paranoia? Pshaw!

[reintarnation]

I’m not worried about liberals using our military to put down civilian protesters. The overwhelming majority of special ops troops and elite combat units are conservative. And, since the end of the draft their demographic has become more legacy in mix; meaning these troops have families, parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, neighbors, etc, etc, that have served. And, there’s no way they will fire on their own kind. Liberals are delusional if they think they will.

And about 80% of the freepers, sadly.

More than likely the US Army is looking at large scale non-conventional warfare... in Taiwan.

Agree!
Plus fedgov is horrible about taking into account black swan events that they deem “impossible” to ever occur.

I hate to break it to people but some times it pays to read the original article instead of someone else's opinion of it.

This is the infamous Special Forces "Robin Sage" training exercise which started running in 1974. It is not new.

What is new is CFP and the Warzone putting subtle spins to their titles of neutrally worded articles to rile people up.
