Pentagoon om 20.000 troepen op binnenlandse „anti-verschrikkings“ opdracht op te stellen

Dinsdag, 2 December, 2008
Door Patrick Martin | Het pentagoon is begonnen plannen voor de mobilisering van 20.000 regelmatige troepen van het Leger in anti-verschrikkingsverrichtingen naast staat en lokale krachten, een dramatische verandering in de militaire acties van de V.S. binnen de grenzen van de Verenigde Staten ten uitvoer te leggen.

Zowat 4.700 troepen, een volledige gevechtsbrigade baseerden bij Voet. Stewart, Georgië, werd ter beschikking gesteld van het Noordelijke Bevel van de V.S. op 1 Oktober. De resterende troepen zullen aan het Noordelijke Bevel worden toegewezen aangezien zij taken in Irak of Afghanistan voltooien en gehergroepeerd huis tegen 2011 zijn.

1 werd Oktober plaatsing gemeld in De Tijden van het leger krant maar niet anders nota genomen van in de nationale media. De grotere mobilisering voor 2011 werd gemeld over de voorpagina van Washinton Post Maandag ochtend, uniformed een aanwijzing dat het Pentagoon naar bredere publiciteit over de beweging accustom het Amerikaanse publiek aan het gezicht streeft van troepen in de straten.

Het voorwendsel voor de verhoogde militarisering van de Amerikaanse maatschappij is, zoals altijd, het gevaar van terrorisme, en in dit geval, een „kernterroristenaanval,“ hoewel Post voegde toe dat één of andere „andere binnenlandse catastrofe“ de trekker voor militaire actie zou kunnen zijn. Terwijl het artikel voorstelt dat dit een natuurramp op de schaal van Orkaan Katrina betekent, zijn er zonder twijfel dat de sociale en economische gevolgen van de afsmelting in financiële markten goed als „binnenlandse catastrofe“ konden kwalificeren vereisend militaire interventie.

Het beleid van Bush heeft jarenlang gewerkt om het Akte van Posse te ondermijnen Comitatus, een federale wet die terug naar de post-burgerlijke periode van de Wederopbouw van de Oorlog, dateert die het gebruik van regelmatige militaire krachten voor binnenlandse het controleren plichten verspert. De enige uitzonderingen op dit al lang bestaande verbod zijn het gebruik van de Nationale Wacht tijdens natuurrampen, en de plaatsing van federale troepen tijdens de gettorellen van de jaren '60 geweest.

Paul McHale, hulpdefensiesecretaresse voor geboortelanddefensie, zei het gebruik van 20.000 troepen in een binnenlandse plaatsing „aan het punt van unbelievable“ vóór de terroristenaanvallen van 11 September, 2001 buitengewoon zou geweest zijn, volgens de tekst van een toespraak die aan het Centrum voor Strategische en Internationale Studies wordt gegeven, een denkgroep van Washington, die door wordt geciteerd Post. Hij beschreef het nieuwe beleid als „fundamentele verandering in militaire cultuur.“

Two additional brigades will be assigned to create a total of three response teams to address what the military calls a CBRNE event, for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosives. The teams are known in Pentagon jargon as CBRNE Consequence Management Response Forces, or CCMRF. Another 6,000 troops would be drawn from specialized groups of National Guard and reserve troops trained to respond to a CBRNE event.

A combat post training exercise involving elements of three brigades was held September 8-19, 2008. The forces represented in Operation Vibrant Response included the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 3rd Infantry Division, the unit at Ft. Stewart; the 1st Medical Brigade, Fort Hood, Texas; and the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, Fort Bragg, N.C.

McHale told the Post that the armed units would still be subject to the Posse Comitatus Act and would not engage in security duties except those relating directly to the CBRNE event or to protecting themselves while so engaged.

According to the Post account, Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England signed a directive in late 2007 providing $556 million over five years to fund the program. The Pentagon began a pilot project last month funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, in which civilian officials in five states?Hawaii, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Washington and West Virginia?would use military planners to help them develop disaster response plans.

When the Ft. Stewart unit was assigned to the Northern Command on October 1, the Army Times reported the event as “the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities.” The unit returned from duty in Afghanistan last spring.

According to the Army Times, the troops would “learn new skills [and] use some of the ones they acquired in the war zone…. They may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack….”

The unit’s commander, Col. Roger Cloutier, was quoted as follows: “It’s a new modular package of nonlethal capabilities that they’re fielding. They’ve been using pieces of it in Iraq, but this is the first time that these modules were consolidated and this package fielded, and because of this mission we’re undertaking we were the first to get it.”

?

The package includes equipment to stand up a roadblock; spike strips for slowing, stopping or controlling traffic; shields and batons; and beanbag bullets. It also includes the use of Tasers.

The deployment to NorthCom was made possible by the 2006 Defense Authorization Act, whose Section 1076 empowered President Bush to impose martial law in the event of a threat to “public order,” regardless of its cause?i.e., potentially one produced by domestic political or social upheaval, not a terrorist attack.

That provision was drafted by the Republican chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, John Warner of Virginia, and the leading Democrat on the panel, Carl Levin of Michigan. According to one press account, the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act limited the power to declare martial law, but Bush issued a signing statement suggesting he did not accept those restrictions.

Both Democratic and Republican governors objected to Section 1076 as an unneeded expansion of presidential authority to federalize the National Guard and usurp the powers of state officials, according to a letter jointly signed by Governor Michael Easley of North Carolina, a Democrat, and Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina, a Republican, in 2007.
