This is what happens when troops come to train in your town:
Navy Seals Don't like to have their training disturbed - in YOUR town.
OBEY.

I have a friend who lives in Yuma Arizona. He says there are a bunch of anti-government militia types in his area. I wonder if these people are going to rounded up as hostiles and detained. This worries me a bit. Hopefully they Don't expand this nation wide.

1. The United States Army as well as every branch in the military has active plans to operate(conduct warfare) on US soil. If the Military did NOT have such plans at the ready we would have reason to worry about the competence of our military leadership.
2. Exercises of this scale and larger go on all year long. There are been hundreds of military exercises large and small across the country being conducted every single day. From flight training, to reacting to enemy contact, to distributing goods in a flooded area, all the way up to nuclear disaster and massive invasion scenarios.
3. I have taken part in 2 national level training events. One based out of the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, California and the other was contingency national emergency training at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, Louisiana. I have also taken part in in local training exercises, as well as pre-deployment readiness training like High Altitude Mountain Environment Training out of Fort Carson, Colorado to prep for Afghanistan's mountainous regions.
4. Right now Fort Carson houses the 4th Infantry Division, the 10th Special Forces Group, and a few others. Because of where they are, what they do, as well as having a fully capable Combat Aviation Brigade, they have the DCRF mission. DCRF is the National 911(to read what you dial when you have an emergency) emergency response program. DCRF is getting ready to change hands to another unit and 4th ID will be allowed to reorganize and retrain for other missions. Maybe even Iraq. This means other training has to take place for the other units who will be taking over the DCRF mission. This INCLUDES Special Forces Groups.
DCRF is used in the event of a national level terrorist attack, really bad tornadoes in the Midwest, Earthquake response, flooding, and pretty much anything else. DCRF was created essentially as the answer to Hurricane Katrina and the response disaster that was.
5. The Army is always training. It doesn't mean I or anyone else is coming after you.
6. If Infowars.com and Beforeitsnews.com is covering it, it's probably bull#.

So none of the myriad opportunities provided sufficient reason for the gov to put martial law into effect? They just keep practicing it over and over, because that way if they roll it out one day now, magically it'll be okay? But it wasn't okay during any number of tumultuous events in the past?
Sorry, I don't see any logic there. They couldn't roll it out before, but when they roll it out next year (which is the term used over and over for years now) nobody will object to it? Wow.
Not sure what branch you've been talking to lately, but when I was in, and getting out, "because the old man said so" wasn't a valid excuse.

My other thought on this is perhaps there is some intelligence to suggest something coming from the south of the US. There have been a lot of happenings with Petrocaribe, Cuba, Nicaragua, Mexico, Venezuela, and a few others. Russia and NK have taken a serious interest in Cuba, and the Russian FM was just visiting Nicaragua, Guatemala and Venezuela....all having major issues with the US at the moment.
Maybe there has been enough chatter to think there may be something planned from the border, so the US is prepping to have troops in the area if it does?
Russia seems to be playing a game of chess with US Cuba relations and seems like plenty of others to our south at the moment. They also are getting very tight with NK it would seem.

Consider multi national exercises and there are, in fact, far larger and more complicated exercises that go on all the time. To include Canadian/American join exercises, North American exercises that include Mexico as well, and even some others that are larger.
This is, however, the largest for SOC.
Sorry to bring up BIN and Infowars but they had already picked it up and ran with the whole " the army is training to kill you" line.
