US Army Preparing for Martial Law Scenario in US? Civil Disturbance and Mock Riot Drills In Washington Posted by truther on April 12, 2012

[pepsionice]

Before folks get all hyper, you have to realize that US Army personnel can routinely be sent into a non-war zone (outside of the US), and directed to handle a civil disturbance situation on a post (CONUS and Overseas), a US protected area, or in a Earthquake/disaster zone. It’s best that they are trained to react with minimal force, and gradually counter the disturbance.

Why worry about that? The Kenyan can create his OWN army, under command of the czars and loyal directly to him.

EO 13603, Sect. 501(a) allows him to do that.

This is the internet. Anything can be proof of everything.

yep and no one I know that’s active duty is for ZERO

(1) Civil disturbance operations by federal forces will not be authorized until the President is advised by the highest officials of the state that the situation cannot be controlled with nonfederal resources available. The mission of the control force is to help restore law and order and to help maintain it until such time as state and local forces can control the situation without federal help. In performing this mission, the control force may have to actively participate, not only in subduing the disturbance, but also in helping to detain those responsible for it. Control force commanders are authorized and directed to provide such active participation, subject to restraints on the use of force.

In other words, just like Pete Wilson during the Rodney King riots.

Won’t they decide the makeup of who’s getting hurt and who’s rioting before they decide to suppress it at all?

Just sayin’

That middle pic looks like a scene from "The 300 Spartans".

Easy enough...get enough people to grab each side of the shields in the shield wall and simply start pulling backwards or drag the wielder to the ground by the shield simply by falling down and backwards, keeping him on top of you so you don't get hit by his buddies!
He'll either release it or be on the ground with you and if he releases it then you get up and run off with the shield. LOL
Even if they attempt a baton strike if you just pull backwards they're breaking the integrity of the wall.

[grobdriver]

“Posse”-what?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Defense formations with shields right out of the Roman Empire era. Wonder if they can “Form Square”!

Wonder of they can stop a 180 gr M2 Ball at 2800 fps.

"Easy enough...get enough people to grab each side of the shields in the shield wall and simply start pulling backwards or drag the wielder to the ground by the shield simply by falling down and backwards, keeping him on top of you so you don't get hit by his buddies!"

Or just lob a few Molotov cocktails into that phalanx - that shield wall will disburse is seconds.

[Truth29]

Hopefully, when the time comes, the state and local forces are on the same side as the civilian demonstrators - assuming that all are resisting the imposition of Obama law.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

You could not do that if the carrier had spears and swords.

Maybe the attackers could throw armour piercing pilums at the carriers.

Seems obvious to me the admin wants to agitate us in hopes of provoking something.. Liberty lovers are considered terrorists by dhs. Why would our troops train like this if not?

[MPJackal]

Why would our troops train like this if not?

Well, let's see.
1. They get deployed to areas of civil unrest, i.e. Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan.....
2. MP’s have been doing this training since God was a Private. Hell, we did it when I was a Private at Ft. McClellan in the early 80’s.

And FYI, Ft. McClellan has not been the MP School since the mid 90’s.

Funny, when Clinton was Prez some conservatives used this time of selective information to say he was going to declare Martial Law. Then when Bush was Prez the Libs said he was going to do the same. Oh, and the Interment/Resettlement Training site at Ft McCoy and Cumberland, PA, and so on, were actually camps to throw dissidents into. Now here we are back to conservatives saying this about Obummer.

Kind of ridiculous. Soldiers will not allow that, PERIOD.
