Hmmmm.....I'll reserve judgement on this for now. I'm curios why Texas has so many ops in in, and few in the other states? The doc states they're looking for sparsely populated areas. So why not have the majority of ops in AZ, NM and the other states?

It'll be interesting to note when the news media gets word of this.

Thanks for sharing!

Twenty years ago I'd of said come on, let's do it. NOW----- I see it with some major concerns. After seeing how they performed in Florida recently I think of it as very worrisome. WHO are they fighting in this training?

It also says Texas because Texans are pro-military and military friendly.

Looks interesting. Not qualified to comment further, having no experience of how your forces operate within your borders.

The Martin County Messenger, Jan 15, 2015 Headline....Green Berets, Navy Seals to descend on Martin County later in summer.
MARTIN COUNTY - As
many as 60 to 65 Green Berets, Navy SEALS and US Air Force Special Operations airmen and women will be in Martin County sometime this summer for part of the JADE HELM military exercises. Between July 15 and Sep. 15, the military contingencies will arrive from various areas of the nation through the Fort Bragg, NC, headquarters for the special operations. Thomas Mead, who is in charge of the planning for the exercises, had met with former Martin County Judge Corky Blocker and former Sheriff John Woodward last year. This month, during a commissioners court meeting, the new court learned plans had been made to bring the military group to Martin County in the Tarzan area, on ranchland owned by Woodward. Commissioners learned of the plans this month. The exercises are in a number of states in the western parts of the nation, with specific sites in Texas at Bastrop, Big Spring, Martin County, College Station, Caddo Lake, Caldwell, Christoval, Dell City, Eldorado, Goliad, Junction, Leakey, Menard, Mountain Home, SanAngelo and Victoria. Increased military presence will mean: – Increased aircraft in the area at night – May receive noise complaints – Some individuals may conduct suspicious activities designed to prepare them for complex environments overseas – Local law enforcement officers are fully aware of the exercise – Local footprint will be 60-65 personnel – Personnel may be carrying weapons with blank ammo – Some participants will bewearing civilian attire and driving civilian vehicles. The military personnel wil come from all around the world - the US Army Special Forces Command (Green Berets), U S Navy SEALS, US Air Force Special Operations Command, USMC Marine Special Operations Command, USMC Marine Expeditionary Units, the 82nd Airborne Division and other partners from a number of other agencies. Officials estimate the economic impact to the community could be as much as $150,000 for the time period this summer. More information will be released in coming months as the training exercises get closer.

Phew. All you have to do is google Jade-Helm 15, and look at all the websites that pop up. Kinda scarey.

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=jade+helm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Worth taking a read is this one:

"Alex Jones talks with Infowars reporter and Army veteran Joe Biggs about a newly released military document detailing the US Army’s plan to wage war on the American people."

This makes me want to go to the range, and do some practice.
