#Military Admits - Martial Law - Test Runs Planned Throughout U. S. This Summer

March 29, 2015 10:29 am

Newly-leaked military documents reveal what the United States government is no longer denying: that elite branches of the military are currently preparing for training exercises throughout the U.S. southwest which simulate martial law scenarios.

The document reveals the training exercises are being conducted under the name Operation Jade Helm.

The exercises are scheduled to begin this July and continue for eight weeks. The operation will include the participation of 1,200 troops from the the Green Berets, Navy SEALS and Special Operations from the Air Force and Marines.

While the military acknowledges the leaked information is legitimate, they have termed the exercises Realistic Military Training and confirm that these exercises will be carried out in towns in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Texas as well as Utah. For whatever reason, the focus seems to be on the U.S. southwest in particular.

In the case of Texas, the military is being the most forthright about the exercises admitting they are in the works and asking Texans living in close proximity to the operation to report anything which the military has characterized as “suspicious activity” during the exercises.

The leaked US military training document. was released by The Houston Chronicle. It perhaps overestimates the US military belief that Texans have been “historically supportive” of military exercises like these, as they believe them to be for the purposes of “fight[ing] the enemies of the United States.”

Army Special Operation Command spokesman Mark Lastoria acknowledged that the exercises are all about “covert warfare tactics and martial law.”

They are to develop emerging concepts in special operations warfare, he continued.

He told a US Army publication known as Stripes that the notion that this is training for martial law in the United States was proposed by a few individuals who are unfamiliar with how and why USASOC conducts training exercises.

He adds that Americans shouldn t be worried, because they are really just training to impose martial law on cities around the world at a moment s notice.

This exercise is routine training to maintain a high level of readiness for Army Special Operations Forces because they must be ready to support potential missions anywhere in the world on a moment s notice.

Skeptics, however, have asked why states like Texas and Utah, as well as a section of southern California?

Whatever the reason for the U.S. military conducting what they admit are martial law exercises in what they also call realistic urban sites, what we know for certain is that the Special Forces will be on the ground in cities and towns across the country. Whether this is for the purposes of training to oppress civilians abroad or in the U.S. it has a lot of people concerned and asking questions.
