In October 2015, the New Mexico Army National Guard was called-up for a mission unlike any other; sling-load a 65-million years old baby Pentaceratops out of the desert: “This ranks very high in the importance of Pentaceratops discoveries because it is the first baby skeleton, including the skull, ever recovered, and one of less than 10 adult Pentaceratops skulls unearthed.”-Spencer Lucas, Chief Curator of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science

The baby three horned dinosaur was actually discovered back in 2011, in the Bisti/De-na-zin Wilderness Area south of Farmington. In 2013, an adult was found in the Ah-shi-sle-pah Wilderness Study Area, 10 miles (16 kilometers) away.  The paleontologists had a problem; no wheeled vehicles are allowed in those federally controlled areas, and once encased in protective plaster, the two dinosaur skeletons could weight as much as one U.S. ton.

In 2014, administrators with the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, New Mexico National Guard, New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, agreed to airlift the bones using UH-60 Blackhawks from New Mexico National Guard’s Company C, 1st Battalion, 171st Aviation.

It took four hours to position just the encased baby skeleton for sling-load by the Blackhawk: “The process, since it was an unconventional load, took some different planning. We had the right personnel here and were able to brainstorm together. There was never really a set way that we had. We knew once we got in there we’d take a look at everything and figure out the best option. My favorite part was getting the jackets onto the sling loads. That was something we hadn’t had experience with and we knew it was going to be a difficult process. That was our biggest hurdle. Once we got past that we knew we had the capability to do everything else that we needed to.”-Staff Sergeant Jonathon Velarde, 1st Battalion-200th Infantry, National Guard site leader at the Bisti location

But when the day came for the airlift, it was discovered that the plaster surrounding the baby and adult Pentaceratops skeletons were water damaged from recent rain storms and could not be airlifted, only the skulls could be sling-loaded. However, it was soon discovered that the plaster jacketed skulls were much heavier than estimated.  The Blackhawk crew trying to lift the adult skull reported it weighed 5-thousand-5-hundred pounds (2494.8 kilograms) and the UH-60 was not able to safely lift it.  The jacketed baby skull weighed 4-thousand-5-hundred pounds (2041 kilograms), more than twice the estimate.

To make the lift the Blackhawk helicopters flew around burning off expensive fuel to lighten themselves.  Keep in mind that the National Guard personnel on the ground, heaving the heavy skulls into positions, even pushing one uphill, were unaware that they were dealing with weights that were more than twice what they were expecting.

Apparently it took two days (28-29OCT2015) of struggling to position the two skulls for sling-load.

Video, incoming skull:

The skulls were flown out of the ground vehicle restricted areas to a location where a M984 HEMTT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck) was waiting to take them to the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science: “The mission went really well and it was good training for the traditional Soldiers. The mission was accomplished and everyone was safe. We were able to really show the capabilities of the National Guard as far as our air assets, the Infantry piece as far as them having to go out there and rig it, and our transportation assets as far as being able to move it, as well as working with the civilians and the general public.”-First Lieutenant Jerome Bustamante, 116th Transportation Company, New Mexico National Guard

The skulls are part of dinosaur displays at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, unfortunately the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs used the CoViD-19 fear-mongering to shutdown all taxpayer funded museums in New Mexico, until further notice.

In July 2020, the United States Marines Corps (USMC) began retiring its M1A1 Abrams tanks and M88A2 Hercules recovery tanks, as part of a so called modernization plan called Force Design 2030.

The units affected are California based 1st Tank Battalion (1st Tanks) of the 1st Marine Division (my grandfather’s Alma Matter) and 4th Tank Battalion (4th Tanks) 4th Marine Division, as well as North Carolina based 2nd Tank Battalion (Iron Horse) of the 2nd Marine Division.

The 2nd Tank Battalion was an armor unit for almost 80 years, but apparently that ends under Force Design 2030.

1st Tank Battalion was created in 1941, originally in North Carolina but quickly made a new home in Twentynine Palms, California.  After 79 years the 1st Tanks is no more:

Alpha Company, 4th Tank Battalion, 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve, Camp Pendleton, California, said good bye to its armored vehicles on 18JUL2020.  Alpha Company is the first of the six companies of 4th Tanks to deactivate.  4th Tanks was created in 1943, during World War Two:

In August 2020, tracked armored vehicles located on the Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow (after being a TC on Sherman tanks during the war in the Pacific my grandfather worked at the Yermo Annex), California, were loaded on rail cars and shipped-off to the U.S. Army.

01OCT2020, these tanks are being used for rail operations training, on the Yermo Annex, Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow, California. USMC photo by Laurie Pearson.

All the Marine Corps’ tank units are expected to be deactivated by the end of 2021.  The vehicles could be ‘sold’ to the U.S. Army, or to foreign militaries.

Don’t blame Trump, Force Design 2030 is part of the Obama era plan referred to as Pivot to Asia:  2013, New York Times reports that U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel was pursuing a “pivot” against China.

According to U.S. Naval War College “Starting in 2010, the U.S. and Vietnam accelerated this process effectively forming a partnership on several fronts. The Obama administration identified Vietnam as one of the new partners to cultivate as part of its ‘rebalancing’ of U.S. priorities toward the Asia-Pacific region, a move commonly referred to as the U.S.’s ‘pivot’ to the Pacific.”

Michigan militia flood rescues

Video

“I heard about the flooding about 30-minutes after the first dam collapsed.  I received a call from my command around 11pm last night to come in right away and have been working since.”-Private First Class Lydia Humphrey, 1073rd Maintenance Company, Michigan Army National Guard

In northern Michigan the Edenville and Sanford Dams failed between 19-20 May 2020, but the state’s National Guard was already activated for the CoViD-19 lock-downs, so response time was fast.   130 of the 1-thousand activated Guard personnel were diverted to flood response.

Officials also said evacuation warnings had been heeded by most residents so there wasn’t much rescuing going on.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District, is now figuring out how to prevent more dam failures in Midland and Gladwin counties, due to severe weather.

Back in April 2020, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reported that The Great Lakes were at record water levels and that significant erosion and flooding was ongoing.

Idaho militia’s European deployment canceled, suddenly deployed to Middle East

Image

Ostensibly the deployment of Idaho Army National Guard’s ‘Snake River’ 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team to Europe was canceled due to Coronavirus fears. Yet, seemingly without warning, Idaho Air National Guard’s 124th Fighter Wing, and 190th Fighter Squadron, was suddenly deployed to ‘somewhere’ in the Middle East.

Idaho Air Guard’s A-10C Thunderbolt-2s fly alongside USAF F-15E Eagles from Mountain Home AFB, 15MAY2020.

124th personnel began deploying on 11MAY2020, but several Idaho A-10Cs took part in a supposed CoViD-19 morale boosting fly-over of Idaho cities, along with U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles from Mountain Home Air Force Base, on 15MAY2020.

The deployment, to an undisclosed location for an undisclosed amount of time, of more than 4-hundred personnel makes it the second largest deployment for the 124th Fighter Wing.

Idaho’s 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team, which includes personnel from Oregon, Montana and Nevada, was to deploy between 3-thousand to 4-thousand-4-hundred (depending on the news source) soldiers to take part in NATO’s Defender Europe 2020 wargames, but that was suddenly canceled in March due to CoViD-19. 

The deployment would have made the 2020 Defender Europe wargames the third largest wargames in Europe since the end of the Cold War.  However, Defender Europe 2020 was not halted and just got the ‘green light’.

FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) ordered Engineers from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Honolulu District, Naval Facilities Engineering Command-Marianas, Homeland Security, the territorial government of Guam, Guam Air National Guard and Guam Fire Department to find suitable locations for ‘Alternate Care Facilities’ (ACF).

Hangers at Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport are being considered, 29APR2020.

Even the Hafa Adai Bingo Hall is a potential ACF site at Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport, 29APR2020.

FEMA officials, along with Guam’s governor, toured the U.S. Navy’s Expeditionary Medical Facility (EMF), 29APR2020.

The Navy’s EMF was built for “expanded” use for military personnel infected with CoViD-19, but FEMA wants it to be expanded further in case of a massive ‘Civil Authorities Mission’.  Currently the EMF holds 150 patients.

Guam’s Air National Guard have already been busy prepping buildings for uptake of homeless people, under the guise of fighting CoViD-19.

Why all these preparations when some U.S. states are saying they’ve already passed their CoViD-19 peak?  Maybe it’s because FEMA says the CoViD-19 peak is still months away;  Guam Daily Post: FEMA says CoViD-19 peak will be in September/October.

29APR2020, video of thousands of potentially infected crew-members from USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) leaving the ship for the first time, after weeks of disinfection and quarantine.  They will be staying in hotels located across Guam.  Thousands of new Sailors/Marines, considered free of CoViD-19, will now crew the aircraft carrier:

It has just been revealed that one hotel charged the territorial government of Guam $1.6-million to house potentially infected cruise ship passengers! 

So far Guam has had a total of 145 confirmed infections since March 15th.  The latest testing showed no new infections.

HOSPITAL SHORTAGE? DON’T BLAME PANDEMIC, BLAME OBAMACARE!

Hospital shortage? Don’t blame Pandemic, blame ObamaCare!

“The hospitals are packed. We still have flu season, we still have everyone else that goes to a hospital with a medical or an emergency surgical problem. That doesn’t go away during a crisis.”-Judith Persichilli, New Jersey Department of Health Commissioner

The next time you hear a whiny hospital doctor complain of ‘no room at the inn’ remember, it was ObamaCare that created a situation that resulted in literally thousands of hospital wings, and entire hospitals, being shutdown across the United States.

The mass hospital layoffs and even shutdowns of entire hospitals began after ObamaCare went into effect.  My final ObamaCare Death Spiral post was in January 2019 and shows massive layoffs were still underway!

National Guard Military Police personnel patrols the soon to be re-opened wing of the East Orange General Hospital.

Finally somebody has pulled their head out and realized that instead of wasting time and energy building temp-hospitals (aka Alternate Care Facility, Emergency Care Facility, Quarantine Center) why not re-open the closed hospitals/hospital wings? The New Jersey National Guard, under direction from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is doing just that (at taxpayer expense of course).

On 29APR2020, National Guard personnel began assembling hospital beds for use in the East Pavilion wing of the East Orange General Hospital that has been shutdown as part of a 2015 bankruptcy-sale, and as a result of a state study that showed ObamaCare was drastically reducing patient use of hospitals. It could hold 250 patients.

But this isn’t the first time the National Guard has been called in to ‘fix’ ObamaCare.  In August 2019 I wrote about Operation Appalachian Care, a National Guard healthcare operation ordered by President Barack Obama precisely because he knew ObamaCare would fail poor people.
