The initial amount called in for the "riots" on the 6th were about 500. They quickly bumped those numbers up to 6,200, then 15,000 and now 20,000. Big deal right?
To put this into perspective, when units deploy overseas, they generally deploy on the battalion or regimental level. You have your individual person, multiple people make up a squad generally around 10-15, multiple squads make a platoon, multiple platoons make a company, multiple companies make up a battalion, multiple battalions make up the regiment or brigade, multiple regiments or brigades make up a division. The battalions generally range from a few hundred to a 1,000 troops and the regiments are 3-5k troops. A division makes up 10-15k troops.
We officially have enough to make up at least 1 very large division or 2 smaller ones currently in, or being sent to, our nations capital.
This is the same amount of troops we had in Afghanistan back in 2004.
20,000 troops in DC is a staggering amount. So the next question is...why? They will not be the ones doing the arrests when they go down. Which means they are there to stop the unrest that comes afterwards....or if the arrests don't come at all. This means they are either there for us, or them...Since President Trump is the one with the sole authority to order them into DC...I like our odds of who they are there to stop from rioting.
Wow, thank you for the brief military lesson. That really puts things into perspective
I wonder if this is to prevent more false flag events?
People ask why Trump asked us to go on Janurary 6th. There could be a number of reasons. But If he hadn't went do you think Trump could get away with that many NG there? Do you think they would have even been called?
That is a very good point!
I am trying think of another picture that would give the military an easy way in without causing panic? If we weren't there straight up announcing the insurrection act right after January 6th without a reason would paint a different picture we would be happy but the left was already on alert for that. Q is right, Riot control is the only acceptable picture to the DC.
Congress critters are apparently going banana's about the metal detector checkpoints that they have to go through.
I suspect some of the swamp were planning on going down fighting. After all, there's no need to go armed when you have 20k troops defending you, right?
Of course, the news was spinning this as Repub's moaning about the checkpoints, but you can bet it is meant for all the swamp rats
Source?
Yep.... I've been trying to figure out the play on the 6th because nothing made sense.
But he knew the left would sperg out about anything that happened, he probably caught wind of the ANTIFA shit going down... and they they would be let in to cause havoc....(red folder anyone) so he was late to the stage... and kept everyone away as much as possible so it didn't turn into a bigger cluster.
I mean if a month ago I was to tell you there would be 20k troops in DC sleeping in the halls of the capital, how would that have made you guys feel? This is a result of what happened on the 6th. Plus I really feel like, so far, Trump has largely done nothing about the election fraud, he's tweeted had his lawyers out which would be a given, but the Trump we all know.... would be doing much.. much more then this.
Good thing is, less then a week now and we can know one way or another what is happening.
Déjà vu.
Whoa... never thought of that
U nailed it. Updoot
Q 4414
...under the guise of Riot control
D.c.' s sewers are never gonna be the same again.
Haven't had one in decades, your post actually made me shudder (that chicken and pork loaf made me gag) but yes, the MRE content swapping is in full effect. lol
yes they are
AssssHOOOOOOEEE
THIS
There is also 75 000 000 armed citizens being angry about this election being bullshit, and had enough from that dumbass COVID virus shit, where they forced humanity to wear face diapers as a sign of compliance.
So to be honest, even if there is no operation going on in the back, i dont see how the sniffing devil pedophiles have a chance against the free part of humanity.
Goodluck to the Sniffer.
President Trump is the one that ordered them in. He also gave the authorization to use deadly force if necessary.
there's a better way to communicate what you're thinking
at tdw, there was a picture of a stadium of 20k people, to show how many votes were switched to biden in PA, (19958 to be exact, can be seen live on CNN's election night video)
the way the poster communicated this was, uploaded a pic of stadium of 20k people with the text "this is how many votes were switched from Trump to Biden in pa"
Why wouldn't they be the ones doing the arresting?
National Guard is reserve units that are not very well trained. You have some that left active duty and joined the guard, yes, but most are just weekend warriors. These mass arrests would be carried out by the special forces as they are actually trained on infiltration tactics like this. Or, by FEMA representatives, as they also have the authorization to arrest during a state of emergency...which is exactly what Trump declared DC is in a day or 2 ago.
Thank you!
NC is perfect cover for that.
So where are the special forces then? Why did Trump bring in the weekend warriors?
The special forces would not broadcast being there. Especially if they are their for an undercover operation, that would make zero sense. With that being said, all the special forces answer directly to Chris Miller, the acting Secretary of Defense. Chris Miller did this the very first week he took over...he took over AFTER the election. That was a HUGE chain of command move that flew right under the radar. I'm really surprised the media wasn't freaking out about this.
The SoF are getting to do all that secret squirrel stuff. They like direct action too but the getting to be all James Bond and stuff is also fun.
They would not put that responsibility on any big army or similar type soldier. Poorly trained, likely to fuck up, et cetera. In Iraq/Afghan big army does the meat and potatoes type stuff. Checkpoints, presence patrols, guard duty, support operations, their are more selectively trained organizations (you know of alot of them) that do the hollywood stuff.
When the lights go out, they can be used to prevent the looting and provide a visible deterrent for the bad guys and a sense of security for non-violent on-lookers
Yes. They are optics to dissuade idiots from doing idiotic things.
It’s actually a cartoonish amount to protect the inauguration. I’m no military strategist but it’s probably less effective to have so many for that purpose. Now if you were going to arrest 80% of the inhabitants of that city perhaps it would be sufficient
President Trump is the one that keeps upping the numbers. Do you believe he is scared of us? I don't. I think he is using this as an opportunity to have the NG in DC for when all this shit goes down and the left flips out.
That's a lotta crayons
Well we gotta eat something!
its the equivalent of 4 BCTs. It. Same amount sent to Iraq during the surge in 2007. Yall remember the surge? "Guys guys if we don't get enough volunteers we might have to do the draft again"
Perfect comparison!
I was dooming so hard yesterday, but that level of troop activity makes zero sense unless things are not as they seem. I mean I guess you cant discount dumb dem theatrics, but this is absurd, even for them.
OR D.C. is now a large prison.
That's enough to make really sure nobody slips through the cracks in either direction.
A Marine Corps standard battalion is around 1,000 troops all in. So like 20 battalions is akin to an invasion force.
That is a big battalion! I know they range from a few hundred to 1,000. Mine was only around 500 if I remember correctly.
Either way, there are enough for multiple divisions in DC right now hahah.
I’m talking (REIN), deployment ready. Five companies...four combat plus one H&S, along with attachments like FACs, etc. We used to use 1000 strong as an average for a deployed (Westpac/Medfloat) FMF battalion. I think it’s a little different for a flyover deployment like to Japan (Okinawa, Camp Hansen/Camp Schwab). I’m talking almost 30 years ago so thing may have changed.
Its an Army! hehehehe
Joe Sniffy will finally have more that 20 people show up for an event.
Same ones who don't know what a $20 trillion "deficit" is?
I thought this too. That is enough troops to conquer a small country and Trump has placed them / allowed them to be there. For context, 20k troops is nearly 2x the amount of soldiers that the Republic of Ireland has. And this is for ONE city.
We invaded Afghanistan with 1,000 troops.
it is roughly the number of fans at a sold out NHL game....or a super shitty MLB team (pre fake china virus)
20,000 is a small Trump rally.
Can someone fly a light plane over the capital and take some photos for us. Thanks!
(Just joking, SS. Unlike 9/11, it would be shot out of the sky before it gets near there)
20,000 is almost 1/2 the population of my town!
Reports are saying National Guard. May I ask why?
Is this correct that the President ordered this and is the only one that can do so? Would give me a lot of peace of mind to know the answer.
My passing thought is that troops might also be needed in DC to this degree if war is declared on or by China, because China already has their people within US borders. I'm also hearing that Marine Corps reserves are getting called in.
Hmmm...that would be insane if that were the case. And which Marine Corps reserve unit??
I do not know, they didn't say which one.
Unless there’s a corresponding 20,000 pairs of handcuffs it’s really just a show of strength which means they are there to kill if necessary.
Riot control. And everyone knows which party it is that riots.
How many troops would it take to take over the pentagon, or secure the major sites and patrol the op area? Thcan shut down the entire city. Lock it down and then trump can send who he wants to do the rest. Bit Q talks about how to break it to them being something they can handle. Maybe starting with the Clinton foundation and the human trafficking. All conjecture in my part.
So... What you're saying is.... This is an army of Orcs
