According to the Army Times (dated Tuesday, September 30, 2008), “Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT [Brigade Combat Team] will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.”
The article continued by saying, “But this new mission marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities.
“After 1st BCT finishes its dwell-time mission, expectations are that another, as yet unnamed, active-duty brigade will take over and that the mission will be a permanent one.”
The Times column also reported that the Army brigade “may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control . . .” It seems that the Army’s new domestic duties also include “traffic control” as well as subduing “unruly or dangerous individuals.”

This is from a real article in the Army Times (I think it was dated 9/8/08).
There is more background in FR.
Could this be in preparation for the riots when Senator Obama loses? Or when he wins? There will almost certainly be riots in any case.
Baldwin is an absolute loon who hates America.
Hey, did you not read what Obama’s (so called cousin) Raila Odingo did in Kenya, Africa in Dec 07 when he lost the President election there. Over 1600 people died in ethnic cleansing, and Kofi Annan of the UN had to broker a deal, which took weeks of bloodshed, with the new President to give Odingo 1/2 power making him Prime Minister, and 1/2 cabinet.
Now that said, it has been BUSH who has kept the terrorist out of America, because he has kahunas to kill them. If Obama wins there could be terrorism, he’s weak, and if McCain wins there could be bloodshed from left...riots in streets have happened for less in U.S. Remember those BLT churches who teach racism against whites.
Or does our government suspect terrorist attacks on our soil very soon? Is this in preparation for possible attacks? Heightened preparation because of the presidential election?
There is a lot of training going on,and planning being done, for the “Great Flu Pandemic” .I fully expect some would-be tyrants to try using this as a way of finally dismantling the Constitutional Republic. I know the planning for the flu pandemic response includes law enforcement response to civil disobedience. Somehow,I don’t think that civil disobedience is going to be people fighting to GET the shots;more likely,it will be people refusing government mandated injections and forced relocation. FEMA is not freedom or 2nd admendment friendly.Remember New Orleans!
Sorry. I don't know the html for making a link. I'm technologically impaired.
In this case we hope they aren’t needed, but this election is volatile, and if you look at hate and spewing snakes in left media who have planted seeds of dissension for past several years anything is possible.
Thought I saw a black helicopter fly over my house today. /s
They are getting ready for the grass roots revolution against the fascist governing bodies. LOL. Hide your weapons and mind your manners.
“U.S. Army troops to serve as U.S. policemen?”
That’s called “martial law.” We’ve used it before, but only in extraordinary circumstances. I’m sure they wouldn’t be deployed without some sudden emergency. Personally, having troops waiting in the wings for a disaster to happen is a waste of money. We can fend for ourselves, for the most part.
I have thought about a pandemic for a long time (bird flu, sars, etc.).
The Great Depression was not only financial, but worsened by the “natural” (partly poor farming practices) disaster of the weather and crop failures. God help us if the current financial crisis is still upon us when a pandemic hits.
Careful, they may have been UFOs piloted by the reptilians who are actually in charge.
Brigade homeland tours start Oct. 1

We frequently use the military, I know that we have done it in the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
The 101st and the 82nd seem to be popular for domestic disturbances.
No black helicopters,but a brightly colored ultralight DI fly directly over my comp....house and garage!
Wise words my friend … I will, henceforth, be more careful in promulgating my observations. ;-)
DI=DID
time to get away from the keyboard and rest
Thanks for posting the link. I’m not good at this html stuff.
After the last two weeks, NOTHING sounds like tin foil hat stuff to me.
the Army Times (and Navy Times, et al) is a decidedly lefty publication. can’t remember who publishes them, but it’s not an official paper from the Army or the Pentagon.
(Chuck Baldwin is a Constitution Party guy.)
Yes but never on a long term, possible permanent basis.
Gannett publishes them, IIRC.
Navy Times, before I stopped reading it a year or two ago, was especially bad on the Iraq War.
The permanent part is only important so that we can have a specially trained unit for terrorist attack aftermaths, it doesn’t mean that they will be any more lethal to civilians than the 82nd would be, or has been in the past.
Moving into a community that has been attacked by Nuclear, Biological, or Chemical attacks, and that has lost the police and firemen and their hospitals takes unique training and specialization.
Having a unit assigned to establish a training standard and an SOP, and developing the special equipment list for those type of operations is a necessity.
"Army Times Publishing Company is a Gannett subsidiary."

For all that, C4ISR is a great read...
Don't laugh.
My brother and I actually saw one in 1984, right over Figueroa Blvd. in Los Angeles. It was totally silent, and the rotor was turning slower than any copter I've ever seen. I'm dead serious. And I know helicopters having grown up on Army bases.
I still don't know what to make of it, but we did see it.
The supposedly banking holiday is to be announced within the next two weeks.
Martial law may be a component of this action.
Anyone else picking up this on the web?
Old news,,,
Ya’ll can add the 2nd.BCT.10th.Mt.Div. and many other units
that have been taken off the “Rotation List” to go back
into combat overseas,,,
They are worn out and need a long rest state-side,,,!
Waay back in the olden days this was called the 4th.Army...
P.S. Top Seeekrit Info!!!,,,(EYES ONLY!),,,
I hear a Lil’Trooper will hit the LZ at Ft.Drum in early
summer !!!...;0)
======================
The 1st BCT’s soldiers also will learn how to use “the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded,” 1st BCT commander Col. Roger Cloutier said, referring to crowd and traffic control equipment and nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them.
The package is for use only in war-zone operations, not for any domestic purpose.
=============================
That last para was inserted as the correction to the article. Of course I understand this will only further deepen the suspicions of the black helicopter crowd.
Could you post links for the rest of us as a starting point?
I have found that dehyraded food (dried, not freeze dried) has a 12 to 15 week lead time and that Mountain House will no longer sale thier bulk (#10 cans) “to the public”

Germany to allow domestic military deployment.
After years of debate, top decision-makers with Germany’s coalition partners the Christian Democrats and Social Democrats have agreed that domestic deployment of the country’s military should be allowed in emergency. CDU party head Volker Kauder and his SPD counterpart Peter Struck announced the plan to ammend the constitution after a coalition committee meeting. Both stressed that soldiers may only be deployed to control situations beyond the capacity of police. They named protection against a terrorist threat as a possible example.
This is some scary stuff people!! Especially after several members of the House or REP stated they had been threatened with martial law if they did not pass the bail out bill.
And Posse Comitatus has been suspended by Bush - just google it and you’ll find plenty of proof.

Where they hell is Cheney lately? I seriously think we’re not going to have any election. They don’t want McCain OR Obama - they’re not going to give up any power, I’m convinced. That’s why Bush tried to ram thru that first bill with no oversight.
Bank holiday? With the markets falling daily??
This seriously scares me, and most people aren’t paying attention.
“Thought I saw a black helicopter fly over my house
today. /s”
It’s even worse than that. I saw a camouflaged black helicopter today. It was painted in different colors in order to blend in. After the camouflaged black helicopter flew over my house my beber was stuned.
It was in the Army times months ago. I guess Posse Comitatus is the latest policy our leaders are going to throw under the bus.
LOL!
