Army Conducting Two-Week 'Guerrilla Warfare Exercise' in Rural North Carolina Focused On Battling 'Freedom Fighters'
[informationliberation] The US Army is conducting a two-week "guerrilla warfare exercise" in rural North Carolina focused on battling "freedom fighters" and putting down a secessionist movement.

The exercise comes right as the Justice Department under Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the creation of a new "domestic terrorism unit" to go after American citizens as terrorists.

The exercise also comes after Army General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, embraced indoctrinating the military with critical race theory propaganda to help soldiers understand the "white rage" that led to Jan 6.Though such drills are nothing new, they're taking on new significance with the DC regime launching their new Domestic War On Terror.

From The Charlotte Observer, "Realistic guerrilla war exercises to be fought across rural NC counties, Army warns":

A "realistic" guerrilla war will be fought across two dozen North Carolina counties this month, with young soldiers battling seasoned "freedom fighters," according to the U.S. Army.

The two-week "unconventional warfare exercise" will be staged Jan. 22-Feb. 4 on privately owned land. And it will be realistic enough to include the sounds of gunfire (blanks) and flares, the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School said in a news release.

Exact times, locations and exercise specifics are not provided.However, advance publicity is intended to make sure civilians — including law enforcement officers — don't mistake the fighting for terrorism or criminal activity, which has happened in the past.

[...] Called Robin Sage, the exercise serves as a final test for Special Forces Qualification Course training and it places candidates in a politically unstable country known as Pineland.

The candidates face off against seasoned service members from units across Fort Bragg, as well as specially trained civilians, officials said. The setting is "characterized by armed conflict," forcing the students to solve problems in a real world setting, the center says."These military members act as realistic opposing forces and guerrilla freedom fighters, also known as Pineland resistance movement," the center said.

"To add realism of the exercise, civilian volunteers throughout the state act as role players. Participation by these volunteers is crucial to the success of this training, and past trainees attest to the realism they add to the exercise.

Advance public notice of "the U.S. military's premiere unconventional warfare exercise" became a priority in 2002, after one soldier was killed and another wounded when a Moore County sheriff's deputy mistook Robin Sage exercises for criminal activity.

Pineland covers counties primarily in southeastern North Carolina, as well as Chesterfield, Dillon and Marlboro counties in South Carolina. The full list in North Carolina: "Alamance, Anson, Bladen, Brunswick, Cabarrus, Chatham, Columbus, Cumberland, Davidson, Guilford, Harnett, Hoke, Lee, Montgomery, Moore, New Hanover, Randolph, Richmond, Robeson, Rowan, Sampson, Scotland, Stanly, Union, and Wake."That's 27 separate counties.

They could tell these soldiers they're battling the Chinese, Russians, Iranians, North Koreans or other foreign enemies but instead they have them training to kill "freedom fighters" with "Liberty" flags.

I would assume nothing will come of this one exercise but they keep drilling it into our troops' heads that "freedom fighters" and "domestic extremists" are their enemies.

A recent poll from Sept 2021 found that 52% of Trump voters and 41% of Biden voters support secession.Rather than grant the American people any concessions to assuage their concerns, the regime appears to conducting exercises to put Americans down if they dare step out of line.

#1 Robin Sage has been around decades. It is pretty much the final exam for the Special Warfare School for incoming special forces troops. It puts into practice for them on how to support guerilla units to overthrow a government the US doesn't like.

#2 It pleases me no end that this goon squad will be treated to forecasted unusual snow, ice and freezing rain in NC.

#3 "Goon Squad"?

#4 Sounds like a goon squad to me, especially with the likes of Merrick Garland and Mark Milley calling the shots. You can bet they're all "politically correct" and running around in the woods looking for white supremacists. Yeah, I think the term goon squad fits. If they were honest about wanting to protect America they'd be down on the border fighting a real threat.

#5 Exercises like that can be fun. We were on one in the Phippines in 1965...first the Huks stole our generators...later a voice out of the darkness asks "hey Marines, you want girls"...?

#6 Is Robin Sage that exercise where they put on red uniforms and march through the woods in ranks while the insurgents shoot at them from behind trees?

#7 Most of this article - and all of Abu Shit Head's post - are wrong. The entire exercise, which has been going on for decades, is about organizing and training at guerrilla force (the Gs) to overthrow an oppressive govt (hence the motto - look it up Abu Shit Head).

This mission - aka Unconventional Warfare - has been and remains a core US Army SF mission. Agin - educated yourself Abu Shit Head.

#8 Doing a bit of googling on the topic turns up a lot of frothy 'information' as well as the fact that Robin Sage has been going long before the Brandon administration. I admit I have never heard of it, but then I'm not in the community.

For some reason, this is suddenly important 'news'.

#9 For some reason, this is suddenly important 'news'.

For the same reason the establishment knows it will lose congress in '22. For the same reason the establishment knows it will lose the White House in '24. Gotta start putting those seeds of doubt in the public now for them to come to fruitarian in 2-4 years.

#10 There are families who have plaid the locals for two or three generations, from what I recall.

The reason this is being reported as something new is to spook the ignorant and easily panicked. Plus, it gets eyeballs.
