CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - Training at Camp Lejeune Thursday looked and felt real -- and that was the point. Law officers and marines from across the country ended their training with a bang.

Thursday was the final day of exercises for law enforcement and marines who have gone through special reaction team training at Camp Lejeune for the past three weeks. In the final exercise, teams were presented with a series of real life scenarios as well as hands on instruction to handle them correctly.

Brian Dye, Operations Chief of I&I in Lexington, Kentucky says training civilians as a blended force with Marine Corps personnel eases the transition into a real world scenario.

"I think it's always good when you get an opportunity to work on some similar tactics and procedures so that everybody's kind of operating on the same page. That way when you bring teams together from active duty and the civilian side, it makes the integration a whole lot smoother."

The tactics trainees take away from this course just may help save lives. This three week SRT training course is phase one for law enforcement and Marine Corps personnel. Phase two will focus on sniper and designated marksmanship training.

The megalomaniacal goons in the Zero admin would be well to remember Mogadishu.

On January 20th, with no elections, the office of President becomes vacant. That’s less than 5 months from today. Any federal official executing the orders of Barack Hussein Obama from that day forward will be engaging in an acts of terrorism, treason, sedition, and open war against the United States of America.

At that point all your legal protections will be gone. Then it’s open season.

The ‘Marines’ have not gone back to the .45, their Special Ops people have decided to join all the other Spec-Ops and use the .45.

Looks like the dog target practice has paid off.

Now we’re the vicious curs.

What is I&I, as in “Brian Dye, Operations Chief of I&I”?

Inspector and Instructor duty for a Marine Reserve unit. So Brian is likely a SNCO with the active component of a Marine Reserve outfit.

Like I said, just because they technically may not have yet crossed the line of violating the law I’m not any happier about it.

They clearly are planning to violate the law.

I believe in some circles that’s called “conspiracy”.

If you and I were to conspire to rob a bank, but didn’t actually rob a bank, we still face prosecution for conspiracy to rob a bank.

They pimped him as the “new Lincoln”.

That made my blood run cold.

Remember “The Baltimore riot”.

Surely the Marines will not attack the citizens by order of the Pretender.

Yet, there is this odd bit of news out there:

worth a read. Not a blog. Something is up.

You don’t need to go back to the Late Unpleasantness for an example.

Use the Bonus Army.

Can somebody explain to me why the active duty military is training civilian police from around the nation to work WITH them in combined operations? Anybody ever heard of the Posse Comitatus Act? I understand the military using role-players to practice working with FOREIGN police. And I understand civilian police getting SWAT training. But why are the Marines practicing WITH police to conduct combined ops, here in America? Are we still the USA, or the USSA? When did this happen?

1. Ever stop to wonder who is training security forces (ie police) in places like, oh I dunno Iraq and Afghanistan?

2. Ever wonder if it is MPs learning from their civilian counterparts to respond to situations that happen on military installations/deployed areas?

3. Did you look up "I&I" to discover it is Inspector/Instructor (active duty staff at a reserve station), or the USMC Reserve Unit (couldn't possibly be MILITARY POLICE Company A, Lexington, KY) in KY to see what it was?

4. Reservists train 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks a year....ergo, the best people to learn from would be, perhaps PEOPLE (police) THAT DO IT EVERY DAY.

5. Yes, INTEGRATION. If you line everyone up in the same stack, you have the subject matter experts (civ police) right there to assist with the tactics; vice having an all police stack as a demonstration and an all Marine stack doing trial by error.

I'm guessing you answered "NO" to all of the above and just knee-jerked.

Good Lord......everything is not some conspiracy to kill the civilian populace. Find a sponsor and drive through Camp Lejeune; I promise (as in I see it every day), it's nothing but Gadsden Flags and NOBAMA stickers.

Anyhow, if you want Marines to deploy to the Afghan two-way rifle range without proper training, why don't you just go over there instead with whatever lack of know-how you have?

When I was a little boy, too young to read we lived in Panama City. I recall seeing a picture in the Panama City News Herald which showed soldiers in the streets burning tables etc.

I asked my Mother what it was and she said it was “marshall law in Phenix City, Alabama.” Around 20 years later I was working in South Alabama with some of the Federal agents who used to work in Phenix City. They had some great war storied to tell.

Of course Phenix City was taken over by National Guard under the Governor who ordered the martial law.

These guys aren't getting ready for Afghanistan.

Oh, yes they will. I don’t think a small NG unit in a small town would fire on their friends and family. So, that unit will be sent to another town.

Beats me. Intelligence and Interrogation? That will do unless we know otherwise.

Quisling bastards

Try Inspector/Instructor staff, dumbass. It's Active Duty guys that lock on training for Reservists.

Oh, and for your Quisling Bastard remark.....GF Yourself......I have lost many of my buddies. In a single day 25/46 Marines in my Plt were wounded. I have 4 back to back combat deployments to Iraq as a Marine and shrapnel in my lung from some piece of s4!t muslim for your right to call Marines "quisling bastards." I just wouldn't recommend saying it to my face.

Buddy, MOUT is so trendy and stylish—especially when civilians dressed like commandos (as seen on TV) are doing it with those tacticool and very short weapons that can spit 5.56 mm projectiles. Brilliant.

[Little humor there.]

I looked it up.

Do you mean 1861 or 1968?

I am a First Generation American, so I do not have the attachment to the First Civil War like many of you do.

As for the Bonus Army.

Hell, I would use Ruby Ridge or Waco, I was only a kid when those happened, but it sounds like that caused a bunch of CW2 warning buzzers to go off.

“”Phase two will focus on sniper and designated marksmanship training.” “

And there are those that call US CRAZY??? Yeah, I think not. As my old tagline was, I’ll put it back.

The “Path to 9-11” movie sets the stage for this nonsense. But Perot’s battle with the GOP establishment is the inevitable precursor to the negligent administration it installed.

It’s amazing how the GOP-establishment is somehow involved in the ongoing adversity the Country is suffering.
