The "integration" of Military and Civilian forces continues... Marines, civilian police officers conduct urban training exerciseBy: Tony Rawlings, Published: August 23, 2012, Updated: August 23, 2012 - 6:24 PM Brian Dye, Operations Chief of I&I in Lexington, Kentucky says training civilians as a blended force with Marine Corps personnel eases the transition into a real world scenario. "I think it's always good when you get an opportunity to work on some similar tactics and procedures so that everybody's kind of operating on the same page. That way when you bring teams together from active duty and the civilian side, it makes the integration a whole lot smoother." www2.wnct.com/news/2012/aug/23/8/marines-civilian-police-officers-conduct-urban-tra-ar-2542928/

This is just another piece of the puzzle. The stories of National Guard troops being instructed on civilian control and containment, active duty service men training with police teams so the can function as a unit, the general militarization of police forces around the country and the use of drones on civilian surveillance not to mention the ever presence of cameras in most cities.
A comment on the Mike Church show summed it up for me this morning in a discussion on the Republkratic convention. It went something like " There was a time when discussion of Liberty and the proper role of limited government was at the forefront in our politics. Now even the wish to have such discussions brands you as a fringe element."

last week I posted a link to the 2010 DOD Directive that makes this possible. The DOD has to comply with any Civilian request for assistance. This is Obama's Ace in the hole. The local LEO and Mayors, and the rest of the NWO crowds we have allowed into our local governments have come home to roost. The military can be used by them as shock troops and when they go home they can tell lies aboyt why the Military was there. Plausible Denyability.

You can't expet cops to act like cops when they are trained to act like Marines.
We complain when cops storm a building, one of the biggest reason for this action is the cops are now trained to be combat troops.
We need to get back to cops being trained to act like cops.

You mean peace officers correct?

Via WRSA: ------ Forwarded message ------ From: cljn_globe_web@usmc.mil Date: Wed, Sep 05 at 08:41 PM (UTC) Subject: Response to Special Reaction Team concerns To: cljn_globe_web@usmc.mil September 5, 2012 To whom it may concern: Thank you for voicing your concerns regarding the Special Reaction Team training. In 2007 the Department of Defense identified a requirement to provide better security and policing for our military installations in the US amidst the regular deployment cycle for missions abroad. The decision to hire civilian police officers into the armed forces was made in order to free up our trained military policemen to deploy without having to sacrifice security at home. In return, their civilian counterparts would be integrated alongside Marine military policemen to provide security and policing within the continental US as a blended force. As you may already know, Special Reaction Team (SRT) training is similar to Special Weapons and Tactics training in the civilian sector. Both courses are designed to teach law enforcement tactics that can be incorporated into their unit's mission. While these techniques are useful in the Global War on Terror, they are also employed close to home in response to a variety of threats to our Marine Corps Installations. These tactics are not designed for use against the average US citizen, but for persons who pose a threat to the United States and/or the Marine Corps. The civilian and military policemen chosen to participate in SRT training are among the best, most highly qualified members of Marine Corps Installation law enforcement units. The individuals selected for SRT are recommended by their respective unit to participate in a three-week course offered at either Fort Leonard Wood, an army base, or the Marine Corps Police Academy East located at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Those civilian police officers that undergo the training are actually employed by the United States Marine Corps to be a part of a SRT. That SRT training certifies personnel to be a member of a Marine Corps SRT team. The phrase, "Every Marine is a rifleman," rings as true as the phrase, "Every civilian military police officer is a Marine." The civilians hired into our armed forces are trained alongside our service members in an effort to accomplish the same mission, which is to protect the citizens of the United States no matter the circumstance or the location. Thank you for your time and service to our country. Sincerely, N. G. Fahy Director, Public Affairs Public Affairs Office Marine Corps Installations East - Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune OFFICE: 910.451.7440 FAX: 910.451.5882 cljn_globe_web@usmc.mil Classification: Unclassified westernrifleshooters.wordpress.com/

David Codrea brings the Marine PAOs back to the chalkboard...
"That demands training and controls to assure that civilian rights are protected, too.
Additionally, as per Department of Defense Directive, "Prior approval from the Secretary of Defense shall be obtained for exceptions that are likely to involve participation by members of the Navy or Marine Corps in...activity that is likely to subject civilians to use [of?] military power that is regulatory, prescriptive, or compulsory."
Perhaps these questions would be best addressed by the DOD Office of Inspector General, including what audits they have to guarantee such controls are taught and enforced."

Marine Corps Civilian PoliceThe Marine Corps is always looking for a few good people. If you have pride in yourself and what you do, the Marine Corps Civilian Police may be for you. Civilian Police The Marine Corps is looking for a few good people. In fact, they are looking for many good people. In June of 2007, the Marine Corps adopted a plan to begin the hiring of approximately 1,200 Civilian Police Officers. This expansion of civilian policing reduces the operational stress on Marine Corps Military Police and enhances security and police services across the Marine Corps. www.usmccle.com/
