So when traveling we are not actually doing as it seems exactly what we think we are because personal perspective as a species makes us so truly in many ways absurdly blind.
Think only if you will how many ways science can see with instruments so exponentially more clearly then just us with such a perfect machine tied to quantum computer, our eye! Yet think again the power of science and how dark our view indeed. Lest we think more of ourselves and justify that thought in actions we live out through day to day, and though thinks karma exists not so soon one day you will find for yourself such truth, and what exactly this road yourself you paved shall become of you?
I believe what happens is we move through density if we are going from one place to another. Think of every trip you take as difficult as running through the forest in the middle of the night to get so.wwhere and with absolutely no help of any lighting what so ever.
Obe hundred miles of air between two points is so very safe to cross and thin in density as where two miles through a mountain takes even more such energy, or once with a ton (as an expression not a quantity) of energy so that like spacetime fabric we can tunnel through but at what type of power do we remove such a core of that which we yet understand. What we are trying to understand and comprehend is in reality mostly empty space to, however within that space nearly all empty is incredible directed energy set on course with aversion and a definite purpose and with many other objects of energy it shall meet and make such histories.
Avoid that which is dense and leaves even less and less empty space for which to travel and so easily more and more just traps away and causes super compaction like a tree or a black hole consuming light and matter into denser quantities and rebirthing these materials all again pure as new and these cosmic jets breathe air into the forests and through space for all of eternity.
The singularity is a repeated theme, dancing across the fabric of spacetime we breathe, in for out, and deep it inhales to exhale the passing of eons in so many different types of life and light such energy collected has been so quantified and defined such many and oh so many wondrous ways.
Two dancing black holes in perfect and fluid mirrored movements like opposing complimentary brilliant masters performing the performances of a lifetime and so recorded somewhere across spacetime now for all eternity, for all to hear and see, for one is a place we shall again belong before free will we think we are so free.
The infinitesimally minute size we truly are in a vast universe so vast that vast itself is unworthy as a word but equally respected for its strength as so it tries to express just what it means that which a mind so powerful is still so incredibly to weak and small to comprehend, yet never still to underestimate what universe there is too so within !
It's humbling to think we can even possess ego in the face of say, God, or the moon, or the sun. We are childish as ever childish can in such anyway possible so truly be and multiply that just for sake of wit now times three.
And so on traveling, it is often a place we cross through convincingly with our mind. I think to myself of what is this in scientific reality if I could see as does God see.
I see distance such as light years no such thing but really massive voids absent of light and so deeply compacted and densely thick that great energy so focused will be the need contained to traverse these longest of densities. It was this sentence that made the new ways of traveling soon to come root and conscience step forth out of these voids with energy manifested in form the body so we designed to across space for generations forward fly. We are a family of stellar star travelling astronauts sometimes for generations ahead on a journey already so been sent... travel so long lasting the history of man himself seems lost to time but which is really only just the length of the blink of the eye if ever lucky enough to be thought of at all through this life and thusly so quantified ... lucky to have had such a chance and so hard still to believe we each have so been alive. Can we just respect life and let all else now finally wash away. All life deserves respect and with all life we should celebrate by sharing love and we shall prosper when we choose to work together more productive then alone and share with all our bountiful possessions and hoard never to suffer this mental illness after such experience for not again in the future another day!
Education shall be loved and shared by all and school can be set in a place in a smart phone and testing and quantifying skillets and societal worth finally changed and brought about at last such fair new ways which brought new days which ...
And density... and time travel... and super compaction... all of my theories... and who gives a good fuck about me... I'm worthless a burden to this society... I'm washed up a physical heap a mess... I want to die I must confess. Lived long enough with surgeries, disease after disease, a broken disintegrating spine my back, a childhood of molest. My first memory a jet crash in reading in June of 1968 and on 911 I heard the thud of the Pentagons audible fate !!! I've been awash in money and skirting that edge of fortune and fame, I know the bigwigs and so am I, just in time another passing known name, an artist, a game, so many so fucking lame!
...and then what of that this g with density??? And super compaction ??? It's getting further away as the wicked world creeps back in the forefront of my minds conscience self, me and I, and I need to smoke another bowl to ward off that miserable often real world fucked up gone bad fantasy... I need medicated, so they say it here that way in the hills where I reside.
It's different out here. Very different indeed. People don't judge you! They leave you to govern yourself and if you have a problem with that they will quickly right your wrong with usually quite equal dispensing of that karna coming now at long last back for you shall so pay.
Rarely can i speak of physics and my internal thoughts with many... rarely can I discuss with deeply motivated passionate others where I want to lead us and why... and without some kind of excitement, fuck em' ... I'm not even going to any longer do my utmost best much less try. I think I want to grab a gun, make a stand fit something real, and make that statement clear before I die, I'll turn in my gun for a concoction to remove myself in peace ... no longer a burden... and especially allowed by law we must indeed our culture evolve... if so terminal of mind body or spirit and a doctor says agreed... then let's get on with living and let's get along for a change with dying and embrace a smoother transition only rationale and more ironically humane !
...And so my Swygert Theory of Everything Alpha Omega, dear lord !!! It must be all these drugs masking what is deep inside my mind coming forth blurred by fentanyl and marijuana thank God I quit drinking and the thousands of chemicals in cigarettes and women too these fucking vices for me all just pure misery... well it goes to my grave so you all will think but thats my own rabbit hole you see, and it all works out just perfect in there for me. What perfect in there for me us when you each are so pleased in life to and until then, treat me right I'll do my best friend to so serve you.
And so now we are down inside within or are we alive outside before concoction and concoctions and all that was or will be? My mind can run a million miles per hour and life from every angle comes at you equally this way fast and it's tragic calamity after calamity of misery and with this oldest generation it shall be a plague of death the largest ever recorded generation in recorded history and without the professionals, deeply needed doctors, we shall become liberal and concoctions and goodbye parties the norm of our remaining days.
I long for the ether. I long for the silence and solitude and sanctuary and sanctity of knowing nothing anywhere nearby is even remotely close to interacting with me.
And so of that stardust made I am I pass after these human tethers and slip these bonds of life into the Glory of the heavens and I drift far as the universe and further and further and further from one another we drift as we expand all one but unable to react with one another and without such cause and effect... at long, long, very long last now and finally,
What has transpired in Florida is horrific and what I expect and have expected since I witnessed the Pentagon struck on September 11, 2001 and as a student of science with a degree in science and a major in police science at that to happen increasingly more.
I'm not trying to scare anyone but we are at war here at home. Our institutions have eroded and some if them even infiltrated and I ask you to look at colleges today that speak out too often against the fabric of our country, not perfect and no where close, however the best example of freedom in recorded history without a doubt.
Again, we are at war here at home!
Do you not understand exactly what Jade Helm 15 was all about?
We (American military brass) are trying to figure out how to prepare an army for a fight right here at home on our turf in small towns, cities, counties, states, etc.v against terrorism and we also were gauging how easy it is to infiltrate communities as well as deem how easy it is to fit in without being a "known" quantity.
Recently upon the two year anniversary of my Mother's death, my family took a trip to West Point to be by her side. We were also blessed and delighted to hear a speech delivered by General Dempsey.
Before the speech I was fortunate to attend a small luncheon of no more the 25 people and during the question and answer portion, I asked General Dempsey, who I was seated directly next to, a question about terrorism, and there had been no discussion about the topic to thus oint, however it is most certainly the topic on everyones' mind all the time without question.
What General Dempsey, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated when I asked about terrorism specifically, at West Point in May of this year 2016, and my idea that perhaps we are really even possibly overly focused here, and therefore perhaps overlooking other different, or equally and possibly even more daunting threats,... he felt I was indeed correct and he also stated words to the effect of this message that better become resoundingly clear about freedom and furure generations !!!... he stated...well, the bottom line about terrorism is no one will ever change the way we choose to live unless we let them! I think it's indeed an important and powerful message to repeat and keep in the forefront of our minds.
Donald Trump thinks he has an answer to solve this as today he tweets we need to be tough, smart, and vigilant! Will, yes we do but as I listen to NBC on a Sunday during Ramadan while it appears a line wolf, a very, very poor assumption, attacked innocent people to us, or ..... to him and ...
Now breaking in L.A. we have a person that was headed to the gay pride parade and he was attested.
It's 1:56 p.m. ... we are under attack people, citizens, and don't be naive to this fact.
Why now during that pride week?
What do "they" want?
They want to ruffle our Eagle feathers so we will all flick together and elect Trump and then they can further engage him into a fight through appeal to his ego that is certain to make America fall, from within!
We had best very carefully stick to our fund and do not react emotionally to these attacks upon our soul and upon our people.
Remember, "They cannot change the way we live unless we let them!"
My thoughts and prayers to the families and friends of the victims of this tragic historic massacre in Florida.
Support all law enforcement and let's take care of America here at home from the inside out and share knowledge with your networks.
Every level of the United States has been infiltrated and that is most certainly a fact,... so know your friend and know your enemy better and keep your enemy close at hand too.
Study the crusades and study the fall of Rome and learn these lessons fast as we repeat such ways or appear headed in certain similar directions that don't have to necessarily be repeated if these lessons we d learn quite quick.
I think the time for more massive attacks by coordinated cells of terror will attack us soon, and today is only a mere glimpse of the truly catastrophic massacres to come.
I pray for peace but will certainly stand with education and experience and a finger on the trigger and promise to use whatever strengths and attacks I should need to stay less threatened against such aggressive thiefs in the night.
Are there terrorist cells and / or homegrown terrorism related to ISIS here in the United States and an emerging plan to deal with them?
Is Operation Jade Helm 15 indeed more then what the government thus far states that it is ?
Is it really an operation as stated with even more underlying fact gathering facets that will help us to be better informed and prepared for terror cells here at home in the United States? Are they even perhaps going after some of those cells and individuals?
It seems abundantly likely that this is indeed exactly what is unraveling in many respects with this huge and unprecedented training exercise across ten states thus far, mostly out west excluding Florida and Mississippi which have more recently been added. I have included all the states participating thus far herein.
I have found no other evidence or reporting to this, my original idea, as I allege within in any other form of print or media anywhere I have searched far and wide this day as recorded.
I will do my best to show the reasons why it seems highly statistically likely to indeed be the very case.
The F.B.I. will not come out and make a statement by a spokesperson concerning terrorist cells in the United States, however there is this from there own website, which is certainly a loud and abundantly clear message endorsed by the very agency itself.
Straight from the F.B.I. web page !!!
"...we use our growing suite of investigative and intelligence capabilities to neutralize terrorist cells and operatives here in the U.S."
It sure looks like an admission by the F.B.I. that there are indeed terror cells here in the U.S.A.
Why do so many folks not believe this ? Can you neutralize and fight what does not already exist ?
In its entirety now...
"It’s our top priority—protecting the U.S. from terrorist attacks. Working closely with a range of partners, we use our growing suite of investigative and intelligence capabilities to neutralize terrorist cells and operatives here in the U.S., to help dismantle extremist networks worldwide, and to cut off financing and other forms of support provided by terrorist sympathizers." Below statement added June 13, 2015 Furthermore, there are other governmental agencies that are apparently fully equiped strategically, logistically, and philosopically, to respond to any threats from within, as you can see for yourself at this link, their website the home page in particular for the Selective Service System or SSS (nice name), so read the bold face print yourself and think of the source. There is no hiding behind anything here, as it is often on most government websites exactly what their vision and mission is, and there is never sugar coating on it. What amazes me is how many people fail to go right to the source of things they will often write about and not simply take the time to perform their own due diligence and share this oinformation with others. Mission The statutory missions of Selective Service are to be prepared to provide trained and untrained personnel to the DoD in the event of a national emergency and to be prepared to implement an Alternative Service Program for registrants classified as conscientious objectors. http://www.sss.gov/ABOUT.HTM So, perhaps it is they who will help to fill up all of the F.E.M.A. camps we have all heard so much about. Where are those various camps throughout the United States you may ask? This siste may be a little politically charged but you can at least gather the information there and take the rest with a grain of salt if you so choose, or not...that is your FREEDOM of CHOICE that all citizens shoulf respect and protect every single day of their lives. This is an interactive map below that is from the link below.

FEMA Camp Locations in US - state-by-state List & Map - Expel the FedGov from State Lands
It is well known that it is believed there are at a minimum of twenty two terrorist training camps here in the United States and I have also enclosed a map herein as well. The F.B.I. will not come out and state this by a spokesperson, but the original report was said to have been leaked by the F.B.I., and as you see above, this statement taken from their own website certainly seems to confirm the fact of terrorist cell here at home in The United States.
Secondarily, here are some other related known statements from other federal agencies that can indeed be credited to specific individuals as specified. These statements are exclusively about terrorism cells and terrorism recruiting here at home, as well as the threats they impose upon our country.
F.B.I.: F.B.I. Director James Comey
“We have investigations of people in various stages of radicalizing in all 50 states,” said Comey, adding, “This isn’t a New York phenomenon or a Washington phenomenon. This is all 50 states and in ways that are very hard to see.”
Homeland Security: Homeland Security Chief Johnson
"The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security do a pretty good job of tracking the travel of individuals of suspicion, of investigating potential acts of terror or material support for terrorism," Johnson said. "Just this past Friday there were arrests of five individuals who were providing material support, allegedly, to ISIL."
Please take the time to study all of these links carefully doing your own due diligence along the way and drawing your own conclusions which this article should quite easily suggest.
First of all, Operation Jade Helm 15 is an operation unlike any we have had before in the United States. Unprecedented is the finest word to describe this massive undertaking. It is not just taking place on military bases, but off bases too, in civilian areas with large and small cities, and will be coordinated with local law enforcement in those jurisdictions to further safeguard civilians and personnel involved in the operation. You can see one aspect of that fact in the statement herein where I have quoted actual verbiage about our men fitting in to a population and doing their best to be undetected.
Here is another idea that crosses my mind as well and I think should also not be overlooked, as often changes are taken in steps so that there is a more gradual easing into these types of actions. Are we being further desensitized as a nation so that these types of actions in the future become even more mundane / routine? This is a current and on going phenomena to seriously consider in this day and age. It can make the vigilant less there so, and it is these vigilant the military is counting on to detect the groups of soldiers (dressed as civilians no doubt) that have at least one main objective which is fitting in without detection.
Operation Jade Helm 15 is primarily planned to take place out west currently, however Florida and Mississippi have been added to the active participating states list, and that could grow further too. It may very well actually be that we have states and jurisdictions participate that never are announced as well, as this would certainly make for an even more effective strategy.
It is a proven fact in warfare that the best strategy includes the element of surprise, and what good would we be doing on behalf of our troops and our population (long term after the operation) and country without keeping this element completely covert?
The main extractions to be garnered from this operation, as reported, is to better learn how to fight in urban areas as well as terrain that we will see in foreign nations as well. I think that only tells the very tip of the iceberg overall however, as I do not expect them to share much more, but it is obvious that at the least there would be a lot of great intelligence to be gathered from an operation of this type. There are untold logistics, strategy, tactics, ad infinitum, that will be garnered and helpful from an operation of this magnitude for future planning purposes as well as understanding how a populace reacts with a warfare type of action taking place either abroad or right here at home.
The actual already shared information is setting the chess board nicely, as there is much internet chatter about this operation, there are enemies and "the good guys", there are these states' populace wondering why they were included at all, why they are labeled friend or foe, what will actually take place, the fear of martial law, and on and on and on.
Anyway you can set the "enemy" off balance is always in your favor, and as with any scientific experiment involving people the less they know of the true intentions of the experiment, or not at all, the more genuine the output data-sets will be when utilized for further planning, studies, or outcomes. This could very well be not just a military operation but a huge social study of mammoth proportions.
We have the ability today to track such a huge quantity of data and record it from any point we desire and examine it from so many different angels. You are reading this, for example, and it plays into the cause and effect of everything here forward concerning this entire operation, tat is truly how powerful our tracking ability is today, and I kid you not.
So considering these factors above as you have read and studied first, and moving forward, imagine warfare actually happening here at home ! It is not too far a stretch of the imagination when you take into further consideration real life threats today and include that with past experiences. In particular, terrorism camps right here at home !
What I suggest is not only is this a time to study terror cells and their respective response (including individual members and not only the cellular activity alone) but also a great time to stomp these camps right out, as this is something that should not be tolerated here in our country to start with and it seems abundantly clear today that this indeed a fact.
The questions here are many if something like that actually takes place. For example, what is the difference between an Islamic Terror Camp vs. an organized private militia compound here in the continental lower 48 or Alaska and Hawaii for that fact? What Constitutional laws should be considered in an event like that should it start to transpire and become a reality? What if this is all a set up and a distraction for a greater cause that would be otherwise both alarming and no longer covert if more was shared ahead of time? A lot of what ifs and a lot of speculation, but whatever happens, we are indeed a country on edge and this very mention of the operation thus far as described has alarmed a great many citizens whom lack trust in our leadership and feel threatened and that their very own freedom in the United Stated States will be infringed upon in the least if no taken in the worst case scenario. Again, this may be just a part of a much greater social experiment we are all included in, this cause and effect dance.
I look for a mass exodus of these terrorists and others that are in this country and are unfriendlies to us and our way of life here at home. They, these terrorists. either need to leave or we need to remove them in body bags. One way or another, and I am specifically speaking of any type of terrorists on our soil here at home first, they need to be extinguished. I used a harsh word hoping to draw your closer scrutiny and attention to this matter and draw out your passion, your spirit, and your renewed vigilance and dedication to our beloved country which is no doubt under a threat like none we have known before it.
...so, after reading the original article that inspired me to think about this operation and draw on my background and education, I really wonder what this operation as thus far described is meant to accomplish, or is it perhaps a primary "distraction" with a purpose of its own and an operation that will both be utilized for more then one objective, as thus far stated.
It is either what the government says it is, is a set up for martial law if you are super paranoid (but perhaps not wrong), or is simply a distraction (false flag event) while our country actually maneuvers elsewhere or here at home within and alongside the operation against terrorism in what would appear as a covert plan on its face value. I hope my instincts about this being in part, at the very least, due to terrorism here at home does not unravel years of planning.
I think it is simply what it is stated as. Imagine we are actually attacked on our own soil in a massive way. Let's say an EMP and then outbreaks of cellular terrorsitic activity in major cities and strategic positions starts to escalate. How do we defend our nation and fend for ourselves and how does our armed forces stay prepared for such an event?
You better have forward thinking, because when all hell breaks loose, it will be exactly how I describe it herein.
There would be cells of terrorists in concert wreaking havoc in cities and ports around the country, here at home, unable to be warded off quickly, unless we both train for it ahead of time and also remove the terror training camps we all know exist right here at home in the United States first, further thwarting their collective efforts to destroy our country.
If folks want to examine where the Islamic Terrorist Training Camps are in the United States, as an example, you will clearly see that they are indeed spread around well over the country, where there are certainly members living close by ready to act as planned at the "drop of a hat".
It is quite easy to see these camps are spread out across the USA, forming a perimeter of strategic locations and mostly, but not solely, in warmer areas and/or heavily populated areas and often on coastlines or inland on or close to ports.
I think it is interesting to compare the map of terror camps as an overlay with the list of states involved, and it surely seems that there is a strong correlation between the two.
There has actually been two more states added to the operation then originally revealed and more may be added.
That also makes sense in the larger picture because of many factors. Garnering more information, being able to place more forces in mmore startegic positions more quickly on the ground, securing and protecting interstates, railways, and port and air ports, and cutting off supplies to the enemy at home. Essentially from a few locations that are strategic, we could cut off nay threat as normal tatctics dictate, the same as they would do for us.
In a recent statement by experts it was stated that F.E.M.A.was ill prepared to deal with a natural disaster, and EMP, or anything with a massive or catastrophic nature.
Those threats above are mighty concerning and very possible in this day and age. Many countries have the delivery capability to perform an EMP blast by air, and the technology is more accessible to countries and perhaps even individuals from rogue states then ever. Many people may scoff, but trust me, the people in "the know" take this threat very seriously as plausible in due time if not imminent.
I know many folks that are highly admired, well educated and of exceptional reputation in the various fields, and as an example, one friend has informed me that weaponized anthrax or other biological / chemical agents are a huge threat with an increasing likelihood as, again, more and more rogue states develop these technologies and capabilities today.
These articles do not speak of natural disaster, biological or chemical attacks, as mentioned above, or other scenarios, however the protocol to follow would be similar in many events of such magnitude and the lack of a great ability to react well on behalf of the country by F.E.M.A. the same.
An operation such as this will further bolster that ability, and may further be utilized to quell current threats in greater secrecy under this guise as a purely military training operation.
Backtracking for a moment, here are the two newest states added to the operation as well as a list of all ten thus far included as announced.
The US military has quietly added more states to its eight-week Jade Helm joint training drill, originally designated to take place in seven southwestern states.
03-24-2015
Speaking of the exercise at the Brazos County Commissioners Court in Texas last month, Jade Helm Operations Planner and retired Green Beret Thomas Mead told an audience that the drill, which will run from July 15 to September 15, will now include the states Mississippi and Florida.
“The exercise is actually an eight-week exercise taking place across seven states,” Mead explains. “As you can see right there, it spans the whole southwest of the United States. We’ve also added Mississippi and we have a group also working out of Florida.”
“We’ll have Navy Seals that’ll be conducting targets and training down in the Mississippi area,” Mead also says.
The interagency, unconventional warfare exercise, lasting eight weeks, will utilize 1,200 special forces personnel from multiple branches of the US military, including Army Green Berets, Navy Seals, Marine Special Operations Command and the 82nd Airborne Division, according to a Powerpoint presentationregarding the exercise.
Here are the states included in Jade Helm thus far:
California
Utah
Arizona
Nevada
New mexico
Texas
Colorado
Florida
Mississippi
Would you rather our armed forces be prepared for that "drop of a hat" when terrorists strike, or react blindly in such a situation?
One thing warfare has taught us is fighting in the cities amoung the "locals" is always a huge threat, as we cannot distinguish friend from foe in geurilla warfare.
The tactic to any enemy, which could include us, is to isolate them and cut off their supplies, meaning personnel, food, energy, water, ammunition, etc. You would want to control the ports, airports, railways, and the Interstates first, of course.
Here is a quote supporting that example above.
"The 3 terrorist camps in TN are just a stones throw from I- 24 allowing fast access to major road ways. The camps are nestled along the north, northwest TN border near Nashville. The Dover and Paris camps are about a 30 minute drive apart and about equal time to Nashville. The newly reported Shelbyville camp is approximately 90 miles from Chattanooga and about 57 miles south, southeast of Nashville.
These camps are well positioned near the heart of Tennessee and two of it’s biggest cities and population areas. Terror attacks could easily be carried out in our state with dire consequences. Oak Ridge is just a short drive from these camps and are strategically close to a number of nuclear reactors. "
Watch that video there, and think about this a little more deeply. It is terroristic in itself that these types of ideas have supplanted mainstream America's Apple Pie and Chevrolet innocence. It is exactly what terrorism is meant to do. Terrorize all when there is no current threat.
Back to the maps concerning current terror training camps and the states involved in the operation, studying the terror training camps map even more, it may just be that Jade Helm 15 is the area in the continental USA that we could most quickly secure and defend our country from as a new base of operations. Think about that fact again, and look at the map carefully alongside the other map.
This is a fact that should also be carefully considered with my presumption of the operation being at the very least related to terrorism and planning here at home.
The troops participating will be doing a lot of blending in with the general public to see how easily they can blend in undetected. Why else would they want to test this type of strategy and tactic other then to be better prepared to fight against terror cells at home and / or homegrown terrorists?
It even references 'cells of people", which is eerie in itself.
“They’re going to set up cells of people and test how well they’re able to move around without getting too noticed in the community,” said Roy Boyd, chief deputy with the Victoria County Sheriff’s Office. “They’re testing their abilities to basically blend in with the local environment and not stand out and blow their cover.”
Here is a general overview of what is reportedly expected, vague information about who is involved and what they will be doing, and a general statement trying best to place citizens at ease.
Here is a statement of particular interest in the entire article below.
"The training exercise will be conducted on private and public land with the permission of the private landowners, and from state and local authorities. In essence, all exercise activity will be taking place on pre-coordinated public and private lands."
Conspiracy theories are running wild over the Army’s planned multi-state training exercise this summer.
Green Berets, Navy SEALs and Special Operations forces will conduct realistic training exercises from July to September across the southwest – including in 17 Texas cities.
The exercise, called Jade Helm 15, has critics worried that the Army is preparing for modern-day martial law. Some are even calling it “the Texas takeover.”
Officials say the goal is to see if groups of Special Forces can move around a civilian population without being noticed and can handle different threat scenarios. The military says that these are vital skills when it comes to the ever-changing threats that military members face.
But a slideshow about the training exercise shows Texas labeled as simulated "hostile" territory, which prompted concern from some Americans.
Pentagon and local law enforcement are trying to knock down the rumors and let everyone know that the feds have no plans to take over Texas.
Members of U.S. Army Special Operations Command will train with other U.S Armed Forces units July 15 through Sept. 15 in a multi-state exercise called Jade Helm 15.
USASOC periodically conducts training exercises such as these to practice core special warfare tasks, which help protect the nation against foreign enemies. It is imperative that Special Operations Soldiers receive the best training, equipment and resources possible.
While multi-state training exercises such as these are not unique to the military, the size and scope of Jade Helm sets this one apart. To stay ahead of the environmental challenges faced overseas, Jade Helm will take place across seven states. However, Army Special Operations Forces (ARSOF) will only train in five states: Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado. The diverse terrain in these states replicates areas Special Operations Soldiers regularly find themselves operating in overseas.
The training exercise will be conducted on private and public land with the permission of the private landowners, and from state and local authorities. In essence, all exercise activity will be taking place on pre-coordinated public and private lands.
The public can expect nothing much different from their day-to-day activities since much of exercise will be conducted in remote areas. The most noticeable effect the exercise may have on the local communities is an increase in vehicle and military air traffic and its associated noise. There will also be economic gain: an increase in the local economy, in fuel and food purchases and hotel lodging.
This exercise is routine training to maintain a high level of readiness for ARSOF since they must be ready to support potential missions anywhere in the world at a moment’s notice.
During this eight-week period, ARSOF soldiers will use this opportunity to further develop tactics, techniques and procedures for emerging concepts in Special Operations warfare.
USASOC intends to conduct the exercise safely and courteously while providing the best possible training available for the nation's Army Special Operations Forces. State and local officials are being informed of the scope of Jade Helm and will continue to be updated as the exercise progresses.
