Seven Southwestern states will soon be infiltrated by 1,200 military special ops personnel as part of a controversial domestic military training in which some of the elite soldiers will operate undetected among civilians. Operation Jade Helm begins in July and will last for eight weeks. Soldiers will operate in and around towns in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado where some of them wil drop from planes while carrying weapons loaded with blanks in what military officials have dubbed Realistic Military Training. ....snip....

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
Thank you for the better post of this event....the people should know and I didn’t know enough about it....
roaming about populated area firing blanks...should be entertaining.
perhap obies just hoping that someone will fire back....
Ping to self for later.
Is this related to what was going on in Northern California, up near Weaverville?
There’s no way anything could go wrong here...
Things have gone wrong before. This is nothing more than a Robin Sage, but on a larger scale. Some parts of the exercise will be obvious, but other not so much. Some exercises similar to this happen all the time.
thx. i’ll look for them and say hi if i see them :).
That’s a pretty dangerous game they are playing there. Hopefully, they are smart enough to “drop” on public lands or bases. If I saw someone parachuting into my back property armed, I’m not sure how it would end... not everyone reads the news
Thank you.
I’m glad not everyone has chosen to ignore the fact that this sort of thing has been going on since the Clinton administration.
It doesn’t make it good or right, just not unusual. They had an anti terror drill in Southfield Michigan last week with ISIS flags on vehichles.
A dry run to suppress the Republican vote in next year’s elections ?
They did it with the IRS, it’s not a far stretch to think they will try it with this.
Back in the past, the stuff was pretty realistic. I suspect there will be marked vehicles, and other denotations, aside from the cant miss parachute drops.
Ya. What could go wrong?
shots fired....neighbors blow away troops...
oh my
these people are geniuses
.
In Southfield the exercise was supposed to take place entirely within the confines of an Army reserve center but somebody went for coffee or something in a Humvee with ISIS flags flying proud. LOL
A few years back a guy was arrested for driving a restored WWII era military truck with machine gun mockup on the back. He probably wouldn’t have bee arrested if he hadn’t been firing the “gun” at people on the sidewalks.
The LSE Event in Utah appears reasonably close to the Bundy Ranch.
Spending yet MORE of the taxpayers money and to accomplish WHAT?
