OMG, Look What The National Guard Is Training For

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



North Carolina National Guard Rapid Reaction Force Civil Unrest Training Photos

July 3, 2013 in Headline

The following photos depict soldiers from the 252nd Combined Arms Battalion training in June for their role as a “rapid reaction force” capable of responding anywhere in the state of North Carolina within “four to eight hours with additional forces arriving within 24 to 36 hours.”  The same unit trained in March to respond “to an emergency ahead of federal assets by providing site security, establishing roadblocks or checkpoints, and assisting civilian authorities in controlling civil disturbances.”

The exercises depicted below were held from June 10-14 at an abandoned shopping mall and a water treatment facility in Charlotte.  Soldiers trained to suppress protesters who perform a sit-in as part of a fictional group called “The Pink Panthers.”  According to the North Carolina National Guard, the exercise at the water treatment facility tests soldiers’ “ability to use nonlethal force to disperse a crowd of aggressors.”  Photos of the exercise show soldiers operating from Be On the Look Out (BOLO) notices with the identities of specific individuals in the crowd, listed as “AIN Members,” that are to be targeted for arrest.

      This is pretty common training. I hate to say because I am against the police state, but when the ghetto comes marching on the suburbs, this is for you. Nothing racist about it, I feel for the innocent trapped everywhere. It’s coming. Everyone knows it. Why would you raise your children in such an awful place anyways? Move now!

          could you imagine the mayhem that would occur if there was a white pres when the card collapses ….guess now we know why Obama was elected

      • Andrew LB

        The problem is under this President and Attorney General, their only desire is to use the military against conservative groups. Just like with the NSA, IRS, FBI, EPA, etc…
        Obama has a deep seeded hate for people commonly referred to as “the man” back in the late 60′s early 70′s. These tyrants spent the past 40 years infiltrating government at all levels, teaching lies to our kids in schools, and destroying every cornerstone of America’s traditions. Mark my words, now that Obama and every nut-job marxist from the 60′s is residing at the top levels of Government.. it’s only a matter of time before he takes revenge.

      I tried to explain many times that the “war on terror” was a 2 for 1 military intelligence scheme….

      1: you go in and get the countries mineral wealth….(afghanistan and that whole geographical area is stinking rich in mineral wealth…it’s what the soviets were fighting the CIA/MI6 backed mujahaddin for in the 80′s)

      2: You get your military “up-and-running” so they can come back to their own countries and impose martial law on the citizens of every NATO country on the planet…ready for MASSIVE Earth changes…..Space Problems…paradigm shifts…..new physics……new era…..etc etc……
      that military intelligence knew were coming since the 1960′s and the “Space Race”….

      “Actually, Soviet scientists discovered decades ago that the soils of Afghanistan contained ample mineral resources. Among those, for example, are precious and semiprecious stones: samples of the Sar-e-Sang District Lazurite, whose quality craftsmen praise as exemplary, were found even in Pharaohs’ tombs and during the Troy excavations. The emerald deposit unsealed back in the 1970ies in the Panjshir Province ranks with the world’s largest, with gems comparable in quality to the acclaimed ones mined in Columbia. Also long ago, the Soviets were aware of the existence of Uranium reserves in Afghanistan – in Gen. A. Lyakhovsky’s account presented in his Tragedy and Honor in Afghanistan, the threat that the Uranium would be grabbed by Pakistan and Iran to build nuclear weapons was cited as an argument in favor of the future Soviet invasion at a pivotal December 8, 1979 meeting personally chaired by L.I. Brezhnev.”

      People need to remember that these are no longer men that want to fight for us but are fighting for a paycheck! They don’t care about our rights!

      • Matheus Grunt

        That’s not the case for most of them down in the enlisted ranks. But as more and more guys enlist now, it is for the money and benefits more than upholding and defending the Constitution.

        • judas iscariot

          Very true. That’s what syria is for. Ship the lower ranks off to WWIII and leave dhs and special ops to deal with the war protesters. They’re ready. Waiting on us to attack.

        • judas iscariot

          Till then they’ll just keep piling on reasons. More lies, more cover ups, more surveillance, more lock-downs, more door to door….

      Gradualism at work. If you do not acknowledge the rights of ALL CITIZENS of a nation, then your rights are not secured and they are being taken away little by little, called “gradualism”, using the bogus “terrorism war” as the justification. There is a reason Netanyahu said “9-11 was good for us in Israel” and that is because their entire control of American was secured by their false flag 9-11 attack they did and bragged about. In fact, their dual Israeli treasonous citizen, Chertoff, wrote immunity into the patriot act for Israel “for anything she might have done on 9-11″ and that is why THE CONGRESS WAS NOT ALLOWED TO READ THE BILL BEFORE VOTING ON IT.

      You protect the rights of ALL CITIZENS, no matter what, or your rights will not be protected if some group gets into power that decides they don’t like you.

      I don’t care what they train for as long as they follow the constitution. The constitution is the delineator. If they follow unconstitutional laws and turn on the people then it’s on…

      • AmericanHero

        sorry to disagree…but I disagree. They have infinitly bigger weapons then we do. Our only hope is that they see the light and turn on their evil masters.

    • Stan

      How much more evidence underneath our noses do we need before we all realize our government is preparing itself for confrontation with middle America……? The sheep still sleep……

    • Jim

      This is nothing more than our government training to protect the elite who truly deserve the protection. Just like they deserve the special treatment when it comes to health care, taxes, interest rates on loans etc. etc. They are just better people then us lowly average citizens.

      Do you really believe you deserve to be treated with the same respect as those in the fancy offices who look down upon us? Do you really believe they should have to live by the same standards as the common citizen?

      What do you think they are honest righteous leaders there to represent you? What do you really expect from the monarchy? Liberty and freedom? You just can’t have those things in the royal court. Somebody has to be king. Right? :evil:

      Now bow down I think the prince is coming, assume the position of submission :eek: .

    • MegaYacht

      The problem with these images is that in any urban environment the are ample places for snipers to hide. Once the shooting starts a very uncivil war will break out, people and the National Guard will take up sides and people will die.

      Train and practice .30 caliber long range shooting (over 600 years), learn to place you shot within a 2″ circle, head shots are a sure kill and a .308, 30-06, 7mm Mag, or 300 Win Mag will take down your target with devastating results.

      Moral of the “Red Coats” clad in American Uniforms will be destroyed.

      Victory will once again be with the Patriots and defenders of Freedom.

      OMG, like, this story is just so last season.

      I recall basic at FT. Polk in the early 1970′s. The guys that were N.G. back then were training for crowd control just like this.

      They are going to get rid of the dollar because it is worthless and debt laden.

      They are going to switch to digital cash. That means complete loss of control for YOU and complete control for THEM.

      A RESET button will soon be PRESSED and there will be a lot of angry people outside, but inside of Washington they will all be SMILES!

      For this is want they wanted all along to teach you rats a lesson. That is how all politicians EVERYWHERE look at their citizens.

      We are rats and they are hogs and in their world the fat smelly HOG RULES.

    • Fake-it

      Yeah, like the sheeple likes to say, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about.
