Unconventional Warfare Exercise in the Hill Country [+video]

militaryThe military says Real County deep in the heart of the Hill Country is the perfect place for a new training operation called Jade Helm.

“Jade Helm is a challenging, eight week military and interagency unconventional warfare exercise,” said an Army representative to a packed Real County Courthouse.

What Army representatives say “unconventional warfare exercises” means in regards to Jade Helm is special forces blending in to small towns and better communicating with locals.

Hypothetically, according to the military, Texas, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada and Colorado have been “taken over” by an enemy. Elite forces then infiltrate those states and learn how to better relate and communicate with – again, fictitious – rebels who are fighting against the occupiers. That’s the basis of Jade Helm.

The military says it had already made arrangements with a rancher in Real County to use his property for Jade Helm operations. The only thing stopping the military was the approval of county commissioners. (Read more from “Unconventional Warfare Exercise in the Hill Country [+video]” HERE)
