Alarming video footage from a U.S. Marines training drill which took
place in Arizona last month shows armed troops chasing down unruly
citizens inside a mock internment camp while role players chant for food
and water.
The exercise, which involved U.S. Marines from 1st Battalion, 5th
Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, took place on April 18 in Yuma,
Arizona and revolved around “assault support tactics” training.
The drill was part of, “standardized tactical training and
certification of unit instructor qualifications to support Marine
Aviation Training and Readiness,” according to the description
accompanying the video.
In plain English, the exercise was about subduing, arresting and
incarcerating irate citizens during a martial law-style scenario.
