CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - Training at Camp Lejeune Thursday looked and felt real -- and that was the point. Law officers and marines from across the country ended their training with a bang.
Thursday was the final day of exercises for law enforcement and marines who have gone through special reaction team training at Camp Lejeune for the past three weeks. In the final exercise, teams were presented with a series of real life scenarios as well as hands on instruction to handle them correctly.
Brian Dye, Operations Chief of I&I in Lexington, Kentucky says training civilians as a blended force with Marine Corps personnel eases the transition into a real world scenario.
"I think it's always good when you get an opportunity to work on some similar tactics and procedures so that everybody's kind of operating on the same page. That way when you bring teams together from active duty and the civilian side, it makes the integration a whole lot smoother."
The tactics trainees take away from this course just may help save lives. This three week SRT training course is phase one for law enforcement and Marine Corps personnel. Phase two will focus on sniper and designated marksmanship training.
Were you there when we invented sex? ;o)
WTF!!!!!!!!!??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn Yankee bastards!
That deserves to be posted as a FR thread of its own.
It was....it got pulled.
Tell me, when is the last time a civilian government unionized swat team or their police chiefs faced criminal prosecution?
No one suggested getting rid of swat teams. They should ONLY be used for hostage situations or the extremely violent.
The problem is they've popped up in every town and county imaginable, from rural sleepy towns to low crime moderate sized towns. And as an excuse for a need to organize these militarized police organizations, there is a great need on their part to use them in situations which do not call for these types of operations.
I personally believe there is another reason why civilian law enforcement has been incrementally warring up for the past several decades.
In fact, look at all the fortress like government building nowadays, which have cost the tax payers tens of hundreds of billions. People going into these facilities are dog sniffed, scanned, x-rayed, metal detectors, CCTV cameras everywhere, armed guards, vehicle barriers, secured entries etc etc.
Is this all for some coast to coast Muslim attack? If not, who is it for?
The shopette was so badly damaged that it had to be torn down, but the station survived the collision and you can still see where the impact point is due to the different colored bricks which were used to repair the hole.
That might have been in 1973, I’m pretty sure that I read that when I was still in the army (I mean the Army).
Salamander said its so hot, that a tread on it tonight already got yanked. Now we are getting zotted by DHS I guess.
DHS must be reading FR closely now.
My guess is Holder and Janet Napolitano have some PATCON exercises ready to roll. Or maybe worse than that.
PATCON - look it up, old hat trick of Holders, usually ends up with a lot of innocent dead American citizens, involving white men, guns, religion, and people exercising their freedoms as Americans, that is until the government kills them.
Are you drunk?
This is from the bulletin board for the 543rd MP Company:
Anyone remember the night the drunk drove the tank into the MP station? It was in the early summer of 73. I was working the desk that night with Dick Stovall as the Desk Sgt. Jeff Peck and his partner picked the guy up after he tore up his barracks and had to have stitches at IAH. When his CO came to sign the 629er the guy announced he was coming back after all of us, and pointed at Jeff & told him he was going to kill him. We were off when he made good on his promise later that night.
Depends whether it sets itself on fire or not

I thought so, I showed the article around at the time, I thought it was a pretty big deal back then.
I was at Ft.Lewis then.
Yeah but they were not just civilians, they were after all, war veterans.</sarcasm>
He has a point, since you seem set to take him out already.
The Civil War relegated state militias (including today’s National Guard) to irrelevance; the country simply couldn’t have state militias from one region fighting state militias from another (in which one chose the mantle of “federal” troops).
Look back even farther to the War of 1812: Some New England states wouldn’t even fight.
The new danger is the fact that the active-duty military is now training to
INTEGRATE WITH THE POLICE ON JOINT "SPECIAL REACTION" OPERATIONS ON AMERICAN SOIL.
Is that so hard to understand?
"I think it's always good when you get an opportunity to work on some similar tactics and procedures so that everybody's kind of operating on the same page. That way when you bring teams together from active duty and the civilian side, it makes the integration a whole lot smoother."
I’d say it right to your f-ing face: any U.S. military who train to “integrate with police on special reaction operation” on U.S. soil against American citizens is a F-ing QUISLING BASTARD.
They are not training our military to do this in A-stan or Timbuctoo. They are training our military for operations ON U.S. SOIL.
In my book, any military who participate are QUISLING BASTARDS, not to mention, OATH BREAKERS.
Add to the mix the thousands of internet imposters working in the new "fusion centers" who go to work pretending to be actual citizens, to mold perceptions and spin reality.
The East German StaSi and the KGB only opened and read the mail.
