Sounds like some bad communications between state and federal military. However, why are they conducting this type of military training off post anyway?

you have to train as you fight and most wars and military actions wont be conducted on "base"

Good question. Seems the military is conducting off post training more often like the urban assault exercises we have read about.

Seems to me this rural exercise though could have been executed within the confines of Ft Bragg where a tragedy like this could have been easily avoided.
