For @trapc45

I never said this. Your inability to comprehend is making you argue with one of your own hallucinations.

The reason you can& #39;t comprehend what I& #39;m saying is cognitive rigidity and ignorance.

You& #39;re unaware of the Third Revolution in Military Affairs (3RMA).
What I SAID is that tactical units are not required to ask permission to carry out each step of their operation.

Lindsey Graham said that James Mattis kept coming to Trump asking for Trump to approve a one-mile movement of a tactical unit.
Finally Trump asked Mattis, "What makes you think that a New York commercial real-estate developer with no combat experience knows more about infantry tactics than an infantry captain with combat experience?"

Mattis had no answer.
YOU claim that I said regular-military special-operations units are operating "off the books" with "no CC" (command and control).

I didn& #39;t say that.

DHS confirmed in a press release that a military special-operations unit was sent to Portland.
And NO, I& #39;m not going to link to that press release.

I know guys like you.

YOU WILL REJECT EVERYTHING I SAY, REGARDLESS OF THE PROOF.

So I won& #39;t bother obeying you.

Obviously you didn& #39;t study the Battle of Mosul.

I watched Arab-media videos EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I read the Australian Army& #39;s after-action report, which confirmed the creation of combined-arms micro teams.

I saw that these TACTICAL teams operated autonomously.

I read what IDF Brigadier-General Gal Hirsch (ret.) wrote about the Second Revolution in Military Affairs (2RMA).
Hirsch said that the 2RMA and the creation of strategic commandos known as C6ISR forces was an interim phase between the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) and the Third Revolution in Military Affairs (3RMA).

I& #39;ve seen the US Marines reorganize to become a pure 3RMA force.
I& #39;ve seen the US Army create the 3RMA Multi-Domain Task Forces.

I& #39;ve seen that the US Army Special Forces will FINALLY get its own air power.

The Betas Tests of the 3RMA were Yemen, Iraq, and Syria.

Here& #39;s how it works, AS SEEN IN VIDEOS FROM MOSUL.
The president informs the Pentagon of his overall strategy.

Generals relay the strategy to generals, who relay it to Brigadier generals.

Brigadier generals relay it to colonels, who relay it to majors.
The majors command the captains and lieutenants who each command one combined-arms micro team AND freelance specialist squads who roam the battlefield, ready to go where needed.

The battlefield is digitized, so everyone can see individual soldiers, depending on the resolution.
Since each micro team can see each other AND the freelancers, all the tactical decisions are made by the men and women doing the actual fighting.
In Mosul, brigadier generals, generals, defense-ministry officials and interior-ministry officials came to the front line AND WERE BRIEFED BY COLONELS.

The brass never gave orders.

They traveled with only one or two staffers who had digital maps.
The US Air Force said it took NINE MONTHS to create a 3-D digital model of Mosul.

They mapped every single building and underground facility, inside and out.

About 500 unidentified Arab commandos went into Mosul to do the ground-level mapping, which the US Air Force confirmed.
The highest-ranking Iraqi defense officials were able to safely visit the battlefield and be briefed ONE STREET OVER FROM THE FIGHTING.

Not a single official was even wounded.

All of this is OPEN SOURCE.

It& #39;s not my problem that you& #39;re butt-ignorant.
You say you spent 20 years in the navy.

Give me your service years, your units, your ranks, and your MOS.

That won& #39;t identify you, so you have nothing to fear.

Even if you WERE in the navy, you& #39;re trapped in the past.
You had no idea THIS happened, did you?

Read the whole thing. https://twitter.com/COsweda/status/1272713161406246912">https://twitter.com/COsweda/s...
It& #39;s the Third Revolution in Military Affairs, baby.

AND.

Ceding tactical control to captains and lieutenants goes back to World War One.

Generals had no idea what the hell a platoon was doing at any one time.

Lyndon B. Johnson centralized the armed forces.
Trump is simply going back to our roots.

FINAL POINT.

The military special-operations units aren& #39;t KILLING anyone.

As I& #39;ve pointed out over and over, they& #39;re gathering intelligence.

No need to report their tactics to the Pentagon.
So don& #39;t come to a gunfight armed with a bunny, Angry Fella.

Unless it& #39;s Caerbannog.

ADDENDUM:

After I told him what to look for, he found it, pretended that he knows all about it, refused to answer any of the questions I asked about his nonexistent military career, and makes a Grand Flouncing Exit™ with a Pithy Parting Shot®.

Not predictable at all.
ADDENDUM TWO:

Too bad @trapc45 is gone and won& #39;t see this. I waited until he& #39;d flounced of of here before providing the evidence he demanded.

These are members of the Deployable Specialized Forces (DSF).
The Coast Guard is a branch of the armed forces, but uniquely, it& #39;s part of DHS except in wartime.

The men in Portland and other cities are:

Maritime Security Response Team (MSRT)

Rapidly deploy for higher risk Law Enforcement and Counterterrorism operations.
Maritime Safety & Security Teams (MSST)

Port, Waterway, & Coastal Security (PWCS), Anti-terrorism and Special Capabilities.
These are Tier One special-operations troops.

Coast Guard special-operations units HAVE TACTICAL AUTONOMY.

The men are allowed to take risks that are prohibited in all other branches of service. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmautelNq5Q">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
The Coast Guard has the best snipers in the armed forces.

They& #39;re allowed to disable the engines of go-fasts.

The snipers train weekly. Each is an expert marksman with the general-purpose machine gun, the .50-caliber rifle, and the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System.

THEY ALREADY HAD TACTICAL AUTONOMY.

It& #39;s the REST of the armed forces that must be trained in it.
