Ten thousand Marines, sailors and NATO troops have descended on Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms in California’s Mojave Desert for a massive training exercise.
Maya Rockeymoore, widow of Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., and chairwoman of the Maryland Democratic Party, is expected to run for her late husband’s House seat, according to a report.

“Massive exercise-29 palms”
“Last year, Berger told Military.com that the Corps needed to teach Marine leaders “to think on their feet.” If they’re someday up against a peer adversary, such as Russia or China, they need to be prepared to face off against “that graduate- or varsity-level thinking leader,” Berger added.
“I need them figuring out how they can outthink me,” he said at the time.
Furness said the Marine Corps wants to see how his division conducts operations against a mock adversary “with capabilities as advanced as our own.”
“MWX will be a true test of the Division’s ability to deploy and to operate at scale against a peer threat in a command-and-control denied and degraded environment – an environment where a thinking enemy is working hard to subvert all our efforts,” Furness added.” </i>
We all wish for the sake of California that this was the start of a Federal takeover of the state. However the Marines probably have to retrain after spending so much time in the Mid-east and they came to 29 Palms to cool off!
(Or, its not that far from 29 Palms to Mexico. Could be something going on down there?)
(Maybe CA after the election!)
