USNORTHCOM admits that they are preparing military operations within the United States. This is the first time in history this has been done. They will be working with DHS, state and local law enforcement on U.S. soil.
The focus of this operation will be in our back yard. This ORI is planning on defending against enemy attacks, supporting civilian authorities with fighting an unconventional foe in the U.S.
“For the very first time, the U.S. Air Force has validated a unit’s wartime capability to defend the homeland by fighting an enemy right here on U.S. soil,” said Col. Greg Nelson, the commander of the Kentucky Air National Guard’s 123rd Airlift Wing, which served as the lead organization for the ORI.
Unlike traditional ORIs, in this one the participants were tasked with supporting civil authorities while fighting an unconventional foe in the United States. In the past, ORIs have typically required units to deploy to simulated overseas bases and defend against conventional military forces.
“I’m pleased to say that all three units passed this new test with flying colors,” Nelson said. “We are ready to perform our mission of theater airlift anytime, anywhere, whether it be in support of our allies abroad or here at home in defense of the United States of America.”
NORTHCOM went on to say that the drill will be in the Gulf area. They antcicipate no infulstructure and extreme weather conditions.
It's going to be a DRILL!
FEMA administrator Craig Fugate has acknowledged concerns about the large-scale exercises, but said officials are committed to other kinds of drills, particularly those conducted without notice.

I'm sure they happen all over the country on an annual basis, so that agencies can be prepared.
Are they supposed to sit around knitting, instead of practicing?

No offense, Blanca, but your ignorance is shining brightly through in your post.
The reality is that we are about to witness a major increase in austerity measures and government control that will be unprecedented. This is the reason that you will soon see US troops patrolling on US land.
Things you can look forward to in the next 12-18 months:
1. Increased Taxes
2. pension and retirement funds taken from the people, then consolidated, reorganized and redistributed by the government.
3. Loss of 1st amendment and 2nd amendment rights.
4. Travel restrictions

Here, I took the liberty of changing your last statement for you. Do you have a golden ticket?
I bet you don't, so wake the F up.

I suggest you take a good long look at the history of the USA and (false flag or no) see how many times 'JUST' DRILLS BECAME THE REAL DEAL.
Calm people.
Be calm. Prepare. Pray.
peace

Question for those of you that know about the inner workings of US military. How usual is it to have leave canceled after it had been approved?
I haven't really found an appropriate thread to ask this in and I don't really have enough to start a thread.

And I mean every offence when I say that your fear mongering is showing through! Just because you think your a prophet of doom, doesn't make you one! Are you sitting with a pen and paper to check off each of the items on your list as they happen?
