Ezra Cohen-Watnick just delivered a speech regarding the move to place civilian SpecOps directly underneath the Acting Sec of Defense. Listen closely.

Who else finds it big? Can you extrapolate for me what he is being positioned for?

Only if we lose, which President Trump is not planning for.

whats the deal here since he will be on his way out in a matter of weeks

is it just to cause chaos or freak people out or is there a plan with a goal in mind to happen in a few weeks?

Valid points, to a degree. Yet, as Russia has demonstrated against Ukraine, mercenaries, special forces, contract soldiers, and militias can be used to destabilize a neighbor. And the best counters to such tactics usually require special forces.

Domestic enemies in collusion with foreign entities fits for SpecOps acting in “defense and foreign policy” against “too unconventional forces” as “a civilian advocate”.

and my alma-mater—Mogadishu Somalia 1993

Delta Force, the elite of the elite, were pinned down and trapped for several hours by a mish mash of local barbarians with virtually zero tactical skills and had to be rescued by yours truly— the 2nd battalion, 14th infantry regiment—yep, regular army GI Joes.

If I found necessity to arrest the governor of the great state of, oh, I don’t know, Pennsylconsinichiganzona...

I’d spend at least a minute co-opting his state police and NG units, and another coupla minutes making SURE my assets were... reliable. You might see... you know... purges.

Sun Tzu stuff.

For the moment I'm considering the current exigencies which call for change in the chain of command. Returning branch to direct civilian control as opposed to the chain of perfumed socialist princes installed in Clinton/Bush/ Obama admins. Haven't we heard enough of their public rantings on their position and alliance with the progressives?

Currently the evolving crisis is here and not abroad....perhaps an existential one for the republic. Dark cloud of needed martial law is on the horizon to forestall civil war.Mass has a quality of its own...and the masses are clearly irreconcialbe

Oh gosh, yes: Mogadishu - how could I have forgotten?

The SpecOp community has developed a wonderful mystique that is often divorced from reality. Small, lightly supported forces are easily isolated and destroyed in detail if air support isn't immediately on station or a heavy ground force isn't nearby to bail them out.

Great work in Somalia 2/14!

Yes, as supporting forces under the army’s chain of command. Great stuff but limited.

Forgive my knowledge of history. Has there ever been a declaration of martial law in the US. ( countrywide, not just a city or region).

That’s exactly what it does. The CIA has a ton of assets in the Special Operations Group (SOG) and the Special Activities Division (SAD). These guys are true snake eaters. D-Boys, Frogs, Green Beanies... the best of the best. They perform renditions, surveillance on HVTs and some even say... assassinations (yikes!).

Think Mission Impossible, only possible... the NOCs (Non-Official Covers).

Having these folks report to SecDef though... Kinda defeats their purpose I think.

Wictor is not a Q person. Neither is Nunes. Neither is The Atlantic. (See: " The Man McMaster Couldn't Fire" from 2017).

LOTS of people have observed how directly Trump injected ECW into a series of significant political/intel roles – as the DS continually tried to fire him (cough::McMaster::cough)

This is a new chain of command for lightning-speed, highly-mobile, unbelievably-highly-skilled military operations units. The fact that ECW is directly involved - probably running it - means that this is a brand new Trump-directed force.

Trump has cut out the Obama-controlled bureaucratic infrastructure of the military – which has largely been sabotaging and countermanding the orders of their Commander in Chief for four years.

Civilian SpecOps... not active duty.
