(N.Morgan) The Jade Helm military exercise activities are being seen more openly now in Texas, Washington, Pittsburgh.
As you will see in the videos below, Schnook helicopters can be seen flying through the skies, in preparation for their major drill.
For two months this summer, the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) will conduct Realistic Military Training (RMT) Operation Jade Helm 15 (JH 15) in seven Southwestern U.S. states: California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.
A military spokesmen said the operation is merely a standard training exercise designed to prepare Special Forces troops for warfare overseas.
According to the London Daily Mail, Army spokesman Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria said, “‘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.’”
Units participating in the operation include Army Green Berets, Navy SEALS, USAF Special Operations Command, USMC Special Operations Command, USMC Expeditionary Units, Army 82nd Airborne Division, and Interagency Partners (whatever and whoever that is). Over 1,200 troops will participate.
For purposes of the exercise, the states of Utah and Texas, and parts of southern California, are designated as “hostile.”
Local mayors and county commissions have been notified of the operation and have already signed off on it.
In this exercise, Special Forces troops will practice all sorts of activities including extractions, searches and seizures, urban camouflage, etc.
According to the Houston Chronicle, “[A]mong the planned exercises, soldiers will attempt to operate undetected among civilian populations.
“Residents, in turn, will be asked to report suspicious activity in order to gauge the effectiveness of the soldiers.”
