It may not be training for a domestic raid, but the DOD does this kind of raid in many places around the world, especially the Special Operations Command that the article said was involved in this. And it makes sense to use a real hotel for training in a raid for other hotels. While the layout might be different, hotels are very similar around the world now. The real question is why use the FBI for a training source as opposed to a local PD SWAT team that does these raids much more regularly (not that I like the overuse of SWAT teams in the US, but it does give them experience at this).Grayling813 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 7:17 pmwheelgun1958 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 7:04 pm Why were DOD personnel involved with FBI?

Wheelgun1958, posse comitatus is not in play in the case of training. It makes the use of the military illegal for domestic law enforcement purposes, but has so many loopholes in it (as with most federal laws) that it is almost unusable. Look at the military being involved in Waco as one example.
And I bet the actual soldiers involved took one real lesson from this, whether the higher administrators got it or not. They learned that you cannot rust the FBI for accurate information and planning any more than you can trust military intelligence.
