Army Special Forces candidates will train in a "realistic" guerrilla war to be fought in rural North Carolina and South Carolina counties later this month, according to the service.
Known as the Robin Sage training exercise, the two-week "unconventional warfare" drill is the final test of candidates' Special Forces Qualification Course training.
The drill will take place Jan. 22 to Feb. 4 on privately owned land across 25 counties in North Carolina and three counties in South Carolina, the U.S. Army's John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School said in a news release.
The Army did not provide the exact times and locations of the exercises, which will include the candidates fighting against "realistic opposing forces and guerrilla freedom fighters" in a fictional, unstable country known as Pineland.
"Candidates are placed in 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 school noted.
To make the training more realistic, service members from units across Fort Bragg will act as opposition forces and civilian volunteers will be role-players.
Residents in the area were informed they "may hear blank gunfire and see occasional flares," to make sure that they don't mistake the fighting for terrorism or criminal activity.

They better STAY AWAY FROM THE STILLS AND GROW PLOTS....
Sounds like they’re getting ready for a balloon to go up.
Then why are the tackling dummies labeled “Deplorables” and “Domestic Terrorist Republicans?”
Army to fight “guerrilla freedom fighters.”
Gotta put down those “freedom fighters.”
Let’s see. Could it be parents at PTA meetings? Residents of Red States? Lawfully abiding 2A firearms owners?
Or maybe they are just pretending they are up against antifa and BLM?
How is this different from any other Q Course?
.
Why do you think the new regime’s #1 priority is purging the enlisted ranks?
👍
And many officers.
FLARES followed by wildfires????
Couple of thoughts
1. It’s on private property, it said. Whose property?
2. In an imaginary country called Pineland. That has a very American sound to it. Why not “DumbbutIstan” or “sandistan” or “crima”. Jeez might have well have said “USville”.
This is a part of SF training since the 1960s. Locals get to be role players.
Robin Sage has been going on since 1974. Get a grip.
Event 201.
This is part of SF training since at least the 1970s. During the 1990s the military built an entire Bosnia village at Ft Poke and even flew in native Bosnian speakers to time play in their native language for us small teams guys getting ready to go to Eagle Base in Herzegovina. People need to get a grip this is normal small teams work.
Will the ‘enemy’ be flying a FJB flag?
Small potatoes compared to the 1941 Carolina Manuvers

“Residents in the area were informed they “may hear blank gunfire and see occasional flares,” to make sure that they don’t mistake the fighting for terrorism or criminal activity”.....Send off a few “sound shots” just to be sure.
We trained in Vietnamese villages at Polk in 1970. It helped when we got in country.
