All hell breaks loose in Wisconsin, operation Patriot North is underway!

Video, Nebraska National Guard UH-72 Lakota joins the fun:

Food insecurity, unemployment, failed national and local governments, and non-stop natural disasters leading to race riots and civil war.  It’s July 2019 and Wisconsin is ground zero for Patriot North 2019 DomOps (Domestic Operations).

Apparently various National Guard focused  ‘patriot’ operations are not called patriot because they’re trying to be patriotic, the ‘patriot’ exercises are a directive of the Patriot Act signed into law after the 9-11 attacks.

Official video explaining The Burn Pit:

Starting the third week of July, Air and Army National Guard units from across the United States converged upon Volk Field and Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, for a massive domestic ‘natural-or-man-made’ disaster response exercise.

BLACK LETTER C-130J; IT’S A BYATCH!

Fatal USMC KC-130J crash kept secret?

In December 2018, a U.S. Marine Corps KC-130J was refueling a F/A-18 over Okinawa, Japan, when they aircraft made contact.  Both the F/A-18 and KC-130J went down, only one person survived.

It was not until the end of May of 2019 that the KC-130J’s cockpit voice recorder and digital flight recorder, along with human remains.  And it was not until June of 2019 that the information was made public.  As the investigation is still ongoing no further details were released.

Vehicle I-D: New armored ECM vehicle

Currently known as Electronic Warfare Tactical Vehicle (EWTV), testing began in September 2018 at Yuma Army Proving Grounds, in Arizona.

In January 2019, testing shifted to Fort Irwin National Training Center, in California.

Testing is being conducted by the U.S. Army 1st Division’s 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team ‘Greywolf’.  The EWTV is based on a MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected) MaxxPro Dash.

The new vehicle allows ground forces to intercept and jam electronic communications (electromagnetic spectrum) from a ‘safe’ distance.  It will be a good use for artillery units because it can pin-point the source of electronic sources and then call-for-fire on those sources (the modern version of triangulating radio signals).

It can integrate with existing ECM (Electronic Counter Measures) vehicles like the VROD (Versatile Radio Observation & Direction) and VMAX (VROD Modular Adpative Transmit) systems.

Arkansas hit by unknown substance, USAF scrambled!

“Our job could be the difference between people surviving or not.”-Airman First Class Sydney Eleuteri, 19th Civil Engineer Squadron

While parts of Arkansas were hit by floods in June, 2019, Little Rock Air Force Base was hit by an ‘unknown substance’ that sent emergency responders scrambling.

19th Civil Engineer Squadron emergency management journeyman, takes a sample of an unknown substance found on Little Rock AFB, 12JUN2019.

Don’t worry (too much) it was all part of monthly CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive) training meant to keep their ‘combat edge’: “We train everybody in chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive defense to be ready at the drop of a hat…..

I love learning the science behind my job! If I wasn’t in the military, I wouldn’t be able to do any of this….”-Airman 1st Class Candace Carrico, 19th Civil Engineer Squadron
