Message traffic originating from Combined Joint Task Force - Six J3, dated 141631Z JUL 95 (message ID 1951846), destined for all active duty Army Special Forces Groups, Navy and Air Force Special Operations units and support units, described unresourced counterdrug Mobile Training Team missions for Fiscal year 96. Information copies were sent to, among others, Operation Alliance (Ft. Bliss, TX), (a farce, since the unresourced requirements were forwarded through them to JTF-Six to begin with), Project Northstar (Buffalo, NY), and Office of the Secretary of Defense, OCDEP-S/OSD-ISA. An information copy to this last office is not necessarily ominous, but it is...interesting. The message also announced the JTF - Six Semiannual Planning Conference.
The JTF - Six Semiannual Planning Conference was held at JTF - Six Headquarters on Biggs Army Airfield, Ft. Bliss, TX, and the Ft. Bliss NCO Club between 19 - 21 September 1995. During this conference, unit participation in FY 96 missions was solicited. Missions specifically directed to United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) continue the progressive militarization of local police departments.
The missions designated for USASOC include fourteen Close Quarter Battle (CQB) and Advanced Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain (AMOUT) missions at the following locations:
Burlington, VT Sheriff Patrol (09 Oct - 13 Oct 95)
Niagara Falls, NY Sheriff Office (16 Oct - 20 Oct 95)
Columbus, OH Police Department (16 Oct - 20 Oct 95)
Atlantic City, NJ Police Department (23 Oct - 27 Oct 95)
Rochester, NY Police Department (23 Oct - 27 Oct 95)
N. Franklin Township, PA Police Department (30 Oct - 03 Nov 95)
Philadelphia, PA (29 Jan - 02 Feb 96)
Seattle, WA (11 Mar - 15 Mar 96)
Steamwood, IL (18 Mar - 22 Mar 96)
Montreal, QE (22 Apr - 26 Apr 96)
Cambridge, OH Sheriff Patrol (06 May - 10 May 96)
Keyes, ME (20 May - 24 May 96)
Camp Ripley, MN (03 Jun - 07 Jun 96)
Idaho (loc unspecified) (03 Jun - 07 Jun 96)
The Rochester, NY Police Department also requested a "Tactical Commander's Course" to better learn how to use their newly militarized cops (13 Nov - 17 Nov 95).
Yet more chilling, is a request by an anonymous entity referred to only as "REG CD TNG" in Mississippi, for a Special Forces MTT to integrate Close Quarter Battle (CQB) techniques onto "an existing school curriculum." (04 Nov - 09 Nov 95). Since there are no CQB teams in CONUS this mission will likely be picked up by SFOD-D. (SFOD-D's mission is no longer limited to counterterrorism--just thought you'd like to know that. Editor).
Here is a curious one. The Newark, NJ FBI office requested an MTT for "ship boarding and searching techniques...tactical movement, basic map and compass techniques and day/night movements." (16 Oct - 20 Oct 95). During this same time period, the Forsyth County, NC Sheriff Office requested, "...patrolling, land navigation, booby trap recognition and weapons training.
Eight sniper MTTs were designated for USASOC.
US Attorney, Houston, TX (12 Feb - 17 Feb 96)
FBI, Kansas, (loc unspecified), (09 Oct - 14 Oct 95)
Portland , OR (27 Nov - 01 Dec 95)
Idaho (loc unspecified) (29 Jan - 02 Feb 96)
Streamwood, IL (05 Aug - 09 Aug 96)
Franklin, PA (19 Aug - 23 Aug 96)
Atlantic City, NJ (26 Feb - 01 Mar 96)
Camp Perry, OH (02 Oct - 06 Oct 96)
There are dozens more, ranging from Field Tactical Police Operations, to intelligence operations and Russian (!) and Spanish language training.
Since all these missions are "legal," and "within the bounds of the Constitution"--the Department of the Army said so, so it must be true--and since you are annually extorted at gun-point to pay for all this, the public and press are cordially invited to be present and observe training on the dates and at the locations cited above. Please contact your local police or sheriff department for details. The Point of Contact at JTF - Six for these, and other missions, is Major Deverill, at (915) 586-9083. or MSG Batta, at (915) 586-8497.
Defense attorneys who wish to be proactive should prepare their lawsuits in advance, based on the rulings of Popow v. City of Margate, 476 Federal Supplement, 127 (D.N.J., 1979), in the event these public defenders decide to actually use the training they are given by their legally unqualified, and therefore incompetent, military trainers. SFU can provide expert defense witnesses for AMOUT, CQB, and sniper related law suits. They are expensive, but they are good.
