This is nothing out of the ordinary here. The Marine Special Operation Forces usually train here about once a year.

Calling it "realistic military training," the command puts Marines through scenario-based exercises in and near civilian communities "to replicate realistic conditions," Capt. Barry Morris said in a statement.

Uh, to "to replicate realistic conditions"... where... exactly?

including Camp Beauregard in Pineville

Named for General Pierre Gustave Toutaint Beauregard, CSA! We must rename this facility as the name gives flashbacks to the days I was forced to work in the cotton fields and the overseer Mr. Bush wielded a whip on my back so much it bled from a hundred cuts. And Massa Reagan, he just stand by and laughed!

I didn't know the Marines had units designated as Special Operations. Would that be Marine Recon?

I am wondering if they have controlled the martial law thing in Texas yet?

New Orleans is the Headquarters for the 4th Marine Division.
The 4th MarDiv is comprised of all Marine Reserve Units.

Loved living near Lejeune and like the new NCIS New Orleans. Would actually like to visit. Not enough snow for a permanent transfer, though. Thanks for posting, will remember them in prayer while they do what they love.
