Nahhh they would'nt be in any given formation nor would they ever be seen. My guess is a civilian border patrol group doing some wannabe training.
Stay Safe !!

this was a reality check and scare to me almost 20 years ago and now, well....
Red Dawn (1984)
Synopsis: In the near future a group of teens escape to the nearby forest to protect themselves when the Soviet Union and Cuba launch an attack on the United States and paratroop into their small midwestern town.
A chilling quote from the movie:
In our time, no foreign has ever occupied American soil...Until Now!

I was joking about the LRRP question. I agree with your guess and would add that in my view, a Citizens Militia on the borders is a good thing! They ought to hook up with the Sherriff' radio frequency and stay well regulated (well practiced) at all times!

Your #18:
The UN has never succeeded in controling anything. How could they ever conquer several million freedom loving American made Deer Rifles?

Anyone who has been on the border for any length of time probably knows that there are always little armies out there. Filibusters, self appointed militia, men playing soldier, and sometimes our guys. They've been there as long as the border has.
The Mexicans had to run James Kirker out when his little army began taking Mexican scalps along with Apache. They also dealt rather harshly with Henry Crabb at Caborca.
The little hunchback and sometimes advisor to Sun Yat-sen, Homer Lea, drilled his rag-tags in the hills outside if Santa Barbara in preparation for the Japanese invasion years before Pearl Harbor.
I've had two encounters with Apachies (helicopter type). Once, in the boonies, I heard the strangest noise. Suddenly an Apache rose up out of the canyon next to me and I was eyeball to eyeball with a grinning pilot and a mixed array of modern firepower. Not for the weak of bladder.
Another time I was driving down a mountain road in the middle of the night. In the blink of an eye it was daylight. It was either the rapture, and alien abduction attempt, or an Apache pilot playing with the brightest spotlight you've ever seen.
Once I was checking a remote water tank when I met three of our guys coming down the trail I was going up. They were in full battle gear. As we passed we all nodded and said "Good morning." as if we were meeting on a city street.
More recently, after it was reported that our people were having trouble acclimating to high altitudes around Tora Bora, transport helicopters suddenly began appearing in high mountain regions. Those vast empty spaces are never really empty.

All the NG, Reserve forces and equipment are overseas.No they aren't. What would make you think so?
A lot of them are running bases over here for troops who are over there.

Jim Hogg County isn't a border county, and it would be one heck of a long walk from the border.

Sheriff Erasmo Alarcon Jr., of Jim Hogg County Does this not dilute credibility? ;~)

Anybody who seriously believes Kazakhstani troops are being trained in the US to implement UN control of the US seriously needs their meds increased or their straitjacket straps tightened a bit. I would rather have over vigilant, pro freedom citizens than a bunch of folks with their heads in the sand, who use ridicule to ostracize anybody who holds ideas which will not fit within the narrow confines of their belief systems.

I get my oil changed at a Republic of Texas(they really do the best job) station, will ask them.

Well, if al qaeda or any other terrorist organization wanted to effectively set up operations against the US on our soil, I guess they could pick no better place to do it than the Mexican border where it is well known that we do absolutely nothing to protect ourselves even when our own border patrol officers are shot at. I would hate to think that we will have to come under serious attack by some radical Islamists from the south to actually get serious about border control...or would political correctness still be the rule of the day?

I don't think so. You notice the mention of *professional backpacks* [likely Alice rucks] but not one of weapons? My guess is either one of the Columbia wreckage search teams, or possibly a unit getting in some drill time during a CN or terrain familiarization exercise, maybe *off the books.*
