Large-Scale USAF War Drill Over Nevada Simulated Forcible Entry Maneuver: War Preparations

This is what many of us were watching last night.

well they have the huge airspace north of Vegas. Got to participate in a big, multi service exercise there...sorta an overblown "Red Flag"...I suspect there are several such exercises there each year. (just don't go into "the box").

There's big exercise airspace north of SLC, supports Hill AFB F-16 training and exercises. Got to work there when they had a test "Red Flag" scale exercise which opened it to major exercises in the future. Had a great time.

Jeremiah 49:34-39 ESV
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam (Iran), in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah. Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the mainstay of their might. And I will bring upon Elam the four winds from the four quarters of heaven. And I will scatter them to all those winds, and there shall be no nation to which those driven out of Elam shall not come. I will terrify Elam before their enemies and before those who seek their life. I will bring disaster upon them, my fierce anger, declares the Lord. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them, and I will set my throne in Elam and destroy their king and officials, declares the Lord. ...

fascinating
another training exercise

Warm-up for Ukraine?

... or Iran?

... or Venezuela?

... or North Africa?

... or fill-in-the-blank....

I wish they were there last year during the concert massacre.

just mil tray training. no big deal.

i would not put to much into it.

Question? Forcible entry of Moscow and the Kremlin by NATO? just a guess. That is why the Russians where practicing evacuating Putin and Medvedev. I refuse to believe my country and NATO will invade Russia and Try to bring both of them to face the war crimes tribunal. Moscow is little more than 400 kms from the NATO border with Latvia and Estonia.

no but might have been a coup attempt against putin

yep. i was watching. last i saw before bed were a train of c17s flying from vegas into march field - riverside, ca.

From what we learned last night on another thread, this is an annual event - nothing new.

Yes. but it is strange how I havent heard of it before, its like that time Russia did those nuclear bunker tests back in 2016 I think, they said it was annual event but that was the first time I heard about it, it didnt happen in 2017 or this year

There are lots of things neither of us have heard of before! Isn't that why we come to GLP - to learn these things?

You should have been on the thread last night.

Please change title - this is not "war preparation" - it's just an annual exercise. Find last night's thread and read and then you'll know why we know it's annual.

Or it could simply be what it is every year.
:this1:

I assume the USAF (and other services) still conducts a lot of exercises...they did when I was in, participated in very many during my career..."train like you'll fight".
Had small regional exercises, the "flag" exercises (including the first "Maple Flag" Canadian exercise). Vigilant XXX, Overlord, Amalgam XXX...each had specific goals and plans. A lot of work when you are launching that many airframes, but really beautiful when it all comes together. Good times, I do miss it.
One Red Flag got interrupted by a big storm that stranded some Army troops out in the hills on the range. They had choppered in for an "assault" on some target on the range...weather closed in, so they had to quickly improvise via handheld VHF) for an overnight stay in the middle of nowhere. I was the go-between as they coordinated with their bosses back at Nellis, got everything set up for the next day's pickup, then, bid them goodnight. I was surprised when I couldn't buy a beer that next evening...nice when you get to see your efforts and training pay off, and are appreciated.

Shouldn't jump to speculative conclusions that this is out of the ordinary. It isn't.

Huge drills conducted inside our borders happen a few times a year. It's always been this way. You know about it now because of the internet. Before this, most people didn't know about it. Those who lived in towns or cities nearby were used to it. Military members and equipment deploy in huge numbers to participate.

It's practice. It tests the forces training, kind of like a practice football game. To be ready to defend on a moment's notice, they have to practice.
Don't be alarmed.

Thank you, Nutmeg

Well done! Glad you received the appreciation you deserved!

To anyone here who was on our thread last night - did you see my note that AF One's call sign was changed to Q O? Seems a big deal, no?

Unfortunately, I feel you are 100% correct. After watching some banned videos on the Bolsheviks,the 2nd Holodomor,the Armenian Genocide and other horrors; I expect even worse atrocities in this age of CHEM/BIO WEAPONS, Drone-Bombers, Robot Armies, Genetically engineered Super Soldiers, and Direct Energy Weapons (not to mention the immense Nuclear Arsenal).

I truly fear for the next generation of Americans.


:Dday-clock:

That clock is correct in my view, and still ticking.

I've been hearing some stuff last few days. About a month ago I heard some heavy military helicopters.

I dunno about California, but Vegas area is fully safe. I've seen all sorts of UFO's and Blue Orbs. Even experienced Inter-dimensional boundaries near Area 51.

That clock tower looks like the one on the "Combined disasters" NWO game card...

Now THAT is interesting.
