I for one think the only nefarious point to be had from this is the white house sending a message...we can touch you if we so choose.
I do not believe martial law is imminent. I think the whole death camp/FEMA camp thing is just shear poppy-cock.
Consider this before flaming the crap outta me. Would YOU allow your fellow citizens to be rounded up? If confiscation of weapons occurred...would YOU sit idly by and let it happen?
Barring an atomic war, what would the gubbamint use as probable cause for martial law? Would it be nationwide ML? Would it be localized such as inner cities?
Think about it. We've not had a large scale terror attack in this country since 911. What does that tell ya? The muzzies simply do not have the resources, logistics to make it happen. Besides, if a country such as Iran attempts to detonate a device in an effort to EMP the U.S., they'd be met with a devastating counter attack...and they'd never have to be worried about ever again.
Economic collapse...maybe? But Americans are very resourceful. Might take some time, but America will recover...the reset if you will. Painful? Sure, but we will recover.
Keep your powder dry. You are responsible for the protection of your loved ones. Millions of Americans are very well armed and prepared. The gubbamints not stupid.
I have ZERO faith that the Agent for Iran (our president) would order a military response. ZERO. He has a history of ENCOURAGING the enemy, not fighting them. As long as he's safe in his underground nuclear-hardened bunker, I don't think he gives a rats azz whether the rest of us are protected or not.
I hope you are right. But the camps are there, obviously set up to keep people IN, not just to provide temporary refuge in emergencies. Why do you think that is?
What could the military possibly glean from an exercise such as this?
hands on training for new boots. High turnover rate for the probies, especially Marines.

I would rather see them training than being bored and getting into trouble. I’m surprised the animal activists aren’t up in arms because of the human imprint on natural habitats. They won’t get much training if the desert tortoises are out.
Agree:
I can tell you as a retired government weenie that the ‘government’ is not a monolithic entity. It is composed of millions (unfortunately) of mostly citizens from all political shades.
Are there plans in place for dealing with martial law? Yes. They are worrisome but any attempt to use them now would be met by resistance - from government workers.
At the very least they would leak the plans onto the internet. The Nazis do not have full control yet.
>> What could the military possibly glean from an exercise such as this?
The Military is not an autonomous operation. It’s subject to the command and control of the prevailing political power in charge.
Best the citizens pay attention.
