Most of these exercises are conducted without forewarning to, or the permission of, the residents of the neighborhoods where the exercises take place.<P> The exercises usually involve several helicopters which have no visible markings identifying them as U.S. military aircraft. The the troops involved - from what I'm able to gather - wear no insignia or other identifiable markings indicating that they are U.S. troops. In some cases, the local law enforcement agencies are not even given advanced waring and are unable to properly advise terrified residents calling into 911!<P> Most of the exercises involve the firing of weapons and explosives. Army officials have been caught lying (at least twice) regarding the use of live fire during the exercises. </B></H4></FONT> <P> <P> <hr> <center><H5><A HREF="posse.htm"><B><I>The Posse Comitatus Act</I></B></A></H5></center> <H2>Here are some stories regarding MOUT missions which have already taken place:</H2> <H3> <UL> <LI><A HREF="mo_chic.htm">Lemont, IL (Chicago suburb) - June 1995</A><P> <LI><A HREF="idxpghm.htm">Pittsburgh, PA - June 1996</A><P> <H4>Terrified residents call 911. 911 operators and police dispatch were given no advanced warning of the exercises which were taking place in city neighborhoods!

The purpose of The Posse Comitatus Act was to assure that the U.S. Military could never be involved, in any way shape or form, in law enforcement.<P> Carol Lido successfully thwarted a planned MOUT exercise in Ft. Lauterdale and has worked to prevent exercises in other Cities as well.

Some people speculate that this directive's purpose was, in part, to subvert the Posse Comitatus Act and to allow the command of U.S. troops by the U.N. It is also interesting to note that this PDD was classified and at least one U.S. Senator was denied permission to view the actual document. PDDs are proposed by the President and automatically become effective within a short period of time unless Congress strikes down the directive. But how does one judge a classified directive? </H3><P><hr><P> <I>Back to<A HREF="idxmil.html"> The Unorganized Militia page.</A></I><br> <I>Back to<A HREF="http://www.city-net.com/~davekle "> Dave and Kelly Kleber's main page.</A></I> </BODY> </HTML>
