I have never taken on a thing like this before....I bit hard on this because frankly seeing loach and blackhawk choppers 100 feet off the deck strafing a freeway, and Spec OPs repelling to a roof of a 50 story high rise scared the crap outa me......I know some here took the oath of office, as I did so many years ago, and know you dont train for a OP with out intent of doing the op....
CALL your congressman and senators and tell them you are displeased the U.S. citizenry being used as tactical training objects by the military... This is not only in Houston, Miami, and Galveston.... include St.Louis, LA, Denver, Chicago, Minneapolis, Bangor, Worchester and a couple more... I found what I think is reason or perhaps the spark of inspiration in a plan out lined by 2 college professors in Ks.

TITLE
Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A “Vision” of the Future
by Kevin Benson and Jennifer Weber
The U.S. Army’s Operating Concept 2016-2028 was issued in August 2010 with three goals. First, it aims to portray how future Army forces will conduct operations as part of a joint force to deter conflict, prevail in war, and succeed in a range of contingencies, at home and abroad. Second, the concept describes the employment of Army forces at the tactical and operational levels of war between 2016 and 2028. Third, in broad terms the concept describes how Army headquarters, from theater army to division, organize and use their forces. The concept goes on to describe the major categories of Army operations, identify the capabilities required of Army forces, and guide how force development should be prioritized. The goal of this concept is to establish a common frame of reference for thinking about how the US Army will conduct full spectrum operations in the coming two decades (US Army Training and Doctrine Command, The Army Operating Concept 2016 – 2028, TRADOC Pamphlet 525-3-1, dated 19 August 2010, p. iii. Hereafter cited as TD Pam 525-3-1. The Army defines full spectrum operations as the combination of offensive, defensive, and either stability operations overseas or civil support operations on U.S. soil).
