“…Federal military commanders have the authority….where prior authorization by the President is impossible and duly constituted local authorities are unable….to quell…civil disturbances….”–DoD Instruction Number 3025.21, February 27, 2013
Back in February 2013, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) issued a new “instruction”, which allows the military to take action on U.S. territory without presidential authorization!
State National Guard units on federal active status (mobilization) will be forced to take part. Those on state active duty, or weekend warrior status, are supposedly exempt, although the “instruction” says National Guard units can “…be ordered into Federal service…”
The “instruction” also states that the DoD will begin training up local law enforcement agencies (including MOUT). Also, the “instruction” allows federales to take over locally when “…local authorities….decline to provide adequate protection for Federal property…” (is that why the Sheriffs of southeastern Idaho recently went to the public begging for money to buy AFVs? 63% of Idaho land is owned by the federal government).
The take over by the military involves U.S. Northern Command, U.S. Pacific Command and U.S. Special Operations Command (SOC). The involvement of SOC should frighten people, after all the Afghans have been pointing out that most atrocities in their country are being committed by U.S. SOC units. The ‘Syrian’ insurgents that summarily execute Syrians on video, and even video record themselves decapitating and eating human hearts, got training by CIA/SOC personnel (those insurgents admit they were trained by U.S. personnel).
The “instruction” allows for “…pre-positioning of Federal military forces for CDO [Civil Disturbance Operations]…” But how can you preposition forces before a civil disturbance happens? CDO will include SOC units.
The military now has the power to deputize volunteers. Military aircraft will be used to transport civilian law enforcement. Native American tribal law enforcement agencies will be involved. Intell shall be processed through the El Paso Intelligence Center.
And who has authority regarding this “instruction”? If the President of the U.S. is not available to make such authorization, then “The Secretary of Defense is the approval authority for requests for direct assistance in support of civilian law enforcement agencies…”
