You're Gonna Do What????
Now here's an interesting exercise -
Guardsmen to conduct urban training at Arcadia in April

The Carroll National Guard unit will train on urban military operations by holding a four-day exercise at Arcadia.


The purpose of the April 2-5 drill will be to gather intelligence, then search for and apprehend a suspected weapons dealer, according to Sgt. Mike Kots, readiness NCO for Alpha Company.

Citizens, law enforcement, media and other supporters will participate.

Troops will spend Thursday, April 2, staging at a forward operations base at Carroll. The next day company leaders will conduct reconnaissance and begin patrolling the streets of Arcadia to identify possible locations of the weapons dealer.

The primary phase will be done Saturday, April 4, when convoys will be deployed from Carroll to Arcadia. Pictures of the arms dealer will be shown in Arcadia, and soldiers will go door to door asking if residents have seen the suspect.

Soldiers will knock only at households that have agreed to participate in the drill, Kots noted.

"Once credible intelligence has been gathered," said Kots, "portions of the town will be road-blocked and more in-depth searches of homes and vehicles will be conducted in accordance with the residents' wishes.

Now just why in the hell is the Iowa National Guard practicing on finding a weapons dealer? Local, State and Federal Agencies aren't enough?

This seriously smells bad. It wasn't that many years ago when, YerUnk was in the uniform and it was forbidden to do this kinda thing domestically.

Nope, nothing good can come from this shit.

There are US Army Urban Training Centers all over the country. Shit, there's 2 of them within 60 miles of here.

Last week they were talking about ATF Agents training in Iraq and now Soldiers are training for domestic crime interdiction in Iowa.

This is not good, folks.
