- 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.

Frightening: Bush feels like the end of Weimar Germany. Seriously: "They may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack.

Training for homeland scenarios has already begun at Fort Stewart and includes specialty tasks such as knowing how to use the “jaws of life” to extract a person from a mangled vehicle; extra medical training for a CBRNE incident; and working with U.S. Forestry Service experts on how to go in with chainsaws and cut and clear trees to clear a road or area.

From the Army Times -- the first ever active-unit assignment to the US Army Northern Command. A brigade combat team will be deployed to Georgia (under a command in Colorado Springs) presumably as part of a permanent domestic mission. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but this is just ever-so-slightly unnerving.

- It is not the first time an active-duty unit has been tapped to help at home. In August 2005, for example, when Hurricane Katrina unleashed hell in Mississippi and Louisiana, several active-duty units were pulled from various posts and mobilized to those areas.

The U.S. Government preparing overt martial law against the American people. With a worsening economy, are the political criminal class and their Bankster bosses taking steps to protect themselves for mobs of angry American citizens?

  - The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has spent 35 of the last 60 months in Iraq patrolling in full battle rattle, helping restore essential services and escorting supply convoys.
  - Now they’re training for the same mission — with a twist — at home.
  - Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT 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.
    Malachi Smith on 2008-09-20
    
    What do the "Federales" know that we do not?
  - It is not the first time an active-duty unit has been tapped to help at home. In August 2005, for example, when Hurricane Katrina unleashed hell in Mississippi and Louisiana, several active-duty units were pulled from various posts and mobilized to those areas.
  - 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.
    Malachi Smith on 2008-09-20
    
    For the government apparatus and against citizens...?
  - 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.
    Malachi Smith on 2008-09-20
    
    Martial law under the door...?

    But what about the National Guard?
    
    1 more sticky notes...
    
    Safety Neal on 2008-09-26
    
    National Guard are under control of the Governor of a state, not the President.
  - “Right now, the response force requirement will be an enduring mission.
  - How the [Defense Department] chooses to source that and whether or not they continue to assign them to NorthCom, that could change in the future,” said Army Col. Louis Vogler, chief of NorthCom future operations.
  - “Now, the plan is to assign a force every year.”
  - The command is at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo.,

  - but the soldiers with 1st BCT, who returned in April after 15 months in Iraq, will operate out of their home post at Fort Stewart, Ga., where they’ll be able to go to school, spend time with their families and train for their new homeland mission as well as the counterinsurgency mission in the war zones.
  - Stop-loss will not be in effect, so soldiers will be able to leave the Army or move to new assignments during the mission, and the operational tempo will be variable.
  - Don’t look for any extra time off, though. The at-home mission does not take the place of scheduled combat-zone deployments and will take place during the so-called dwell time a unit gets to reset and regenerate after a deployment.
  - The 1st of the 3rd is still scheduled to deploy to either Iraq or Afghanistan in early 2010, which means the soldiers will have been home a minimum of 20 months by the time they ship out.
  - In the meantime, they’ll learn new skills, use some of the ones they acquired in the war zone and more than likely will not be shot at while doing any of it.

    Interesting statement...
    
    chelfyn Baxter on 2008-09-25
    
    It's the assumption they won't get shot at that gets to me. If they're being used for population control they're going to have to be prepared for firsing on their own countryfolk.
  - or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack.
  - They may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control
    Malachi Smith on 2008-09-20
    
    With the economy worsening over the greed and ineptitude of the "Elite" criminals, they must be expecting trouble from a robbed, looted and raped American citizenry.
  - Training for homeland scenarios has already begun at Fort Stewart and includes specialty tasks such as knowing how to use the “jaws of life” to extract a person from a mangled vehicle; extra medical training for a CBRNE incident; and working with U.S. Forestry Service experts on how to go in with chainsaws and cut and clear trees to clear a road or area.
    Malachi Smith on 2008-09-20
    
    Also how to do door to door confiscations of Americans' guns.
  - 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.
    Malachi Smith on 2008-09-20
    
    Again: ominous sounding for the new serfs; the American citizen.
  - “It’s a new modular package of nonlethal capabilities that they’re fielding.
  - They’ve been using pieces of it in Iraq, but this is the first time that these modules were consolidated and this package fielded, and because of this mission we’re undertaking we were the first to get it.”
    Malachi Smith on 2008-09-20
    
    So they will be turning on the American people what they used on Iraqis?
  - The package includes equipment to stand up a hasty road block; spike strips for slowing, stopping or controlling traffic; shields and batons; and, beanbag bullets.
  - “I was the first guy in the brigade to get Tasered,” said Cloutier, describing the experience as “your worst muscle cramp ever — times 10 throughout your whole body.
    “I’m not a small guy, I weigh 230 pounds ... it put me on my knees in seconds.”
  - The brigade will not change its name, but the force will be known for the next year as a CBRNE Consequence Management Response Force, or CCMRF (pronounced “sea-smurf”).
    Malachi Smith on 2008-09-20
    
    The "CBRNE"
    
    Safety Neal on 2008-09-26
    
    CBRNE is Chemical, Biological, Radiological/Nuclear, and Explosive
  - “I can’t think of a more noble mission than this,” said Cloutier, who took command in July.
    Malachi Smith on 2008-09-20
    
    Oh, you can't? Then just exactly what are you, Cloutier? Who are you?
  - “We’ve been all over the world during this time of conflict, but now our mission is to take care of citizens at home ... and depending on where an event occurred, you’re going home to take care of your home town, your loved ones.”
    Malachi Smith on 2008-09-20
    
    Take care of us alright...
  - While soldiers’ combat training is applicable, he said, some nuances don’t apply.
  - “If we go in, we’re going in to help American citizens on American soil, to save lives, provide critical life support, help clear debris, restore normalcy and support whatever local agencies need us to do, so it’s kind of a different role,” said Cloutier, who, as the division operations officer on the last rotation, learned of the homeland mission a few months ago while they were still in Iraq.
    Malachi Smith on 2008-09-20
    
    Sounds no different than what they were doing in Iraq...
  - Some brigade elements will be on call around the clock, during which time they’ll do their regular marksmanship, gunnery and other deployment training.
    Malachi Smith on 2008-09-20
    
    On call 24/7
  - That’s because the unit will continue to train and reset for the next deployment, even as it serves in its CCMRF mission.
  - Should personnel be needed at an earthquake in California, for example, all or part of the brigade could be scrambled there, depending on the extent of the need and the specialties involved.

    And in the case of Obama's winning the election, to also break up any prayer meetings, Bible studies or shut down Churches who pray in Jesus' name..; not Obama's?

    Malachi, you had me until here...
  - Other branches included
  - The active Army’s new dwell-time mission is part of a NorthCom and DOD response package.
    Malachi Smith on 2008-09-20
    
    Answering to the Elite...protect the scoundrels and traitors. This government is actually afraid of it's own citizens.
  - Active-duty soldiers will be part of a force that includes elements from other military branches and dedicated National Guard Weapons of Mass Destruction-Civil Support Teams.
  - A final mission rehearsal exercise is scheduled for mid-September at Fort Stewart and will be run by Joint Task Force Civil Support, a unit based out of Fort Monroe, Va., that will coordinate and evaluate the interservice event.
  - In addition to 1st BCT, other Army units will take part in the two-week training exercise, including elements of the 1st Medical Brigade out of Fort Hood, Texas, and the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade from Fort Bragg, N.C.
  - There also will be Air Force engineer and medical units, the Marine Corps Chemical, Biological Initial Reaction Force, a Navy weather team and members of the Defense Logistics Agency and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency.
  - One of the things Vogler said they’ll be looking at is communications capabilities between the services.
    Malachi Smith on 2008-09-20
    
    And shutting your's down
  - “It is a concern, and we’re trying to check that and one of the ways we do that is by having these sorts of exercises. Leading up to this, we are going to rehearse and set up some of the communications systems to make sure we have interoperability,” he said.
  - “I don’t know what America’s overall plan is — I just know that 24 hours a day, seven days a week, there are soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines that are standing by to come and help if they’re called,” Cloutier said.
    Malachi Smith on 2008-09-20
    
    You may or may not know what "America's overall plan is, Cloutier, but I bet you can hazard a guess. I know I can.
  - “It makes me feel good as an American to know that my country has dedicated a force to come in and help the people at home.”
