US Troops Practice Urban Warfare In New Oreleans

[Truthed]

The New Orleans Police Department, along with 150 active duty U.S. troops, are currently engaging in what they describe as “military training” as black helicopters whizz around the city dropping bombs in the latest example of Americans being incrementally conditioned to accept a state of de facto martial law.
The training has been ongoing since January 27 and involves “the use of military helicopters flying after dark throughout the city,” according to an Associated Press report.
Residents were warned “not to panic” if they witnessed the training and were assured that the activities had “been carefully planned and are safe”.
However, initial reports before the exercises began claimed that the training would only involve police, when in fact 150 U.S. troops from the U.S. Special Operations Command are also involved as part of urban warfare training.

Now this report is a little over the top from infowars.com


But the truth itself is not much better. The troops are actually performing urban warfare training exercises on an actual US city. The explosions they are hearing are not the helicopters dropping bombs, but they are breaching explosions that the troops are using to breach buildings and houses in the city. WHY WOULD THEY NEED TO BE DOING THIS KIND OF TRAINING ON AN ACTUAL US CITY?! Conditioning for marial law is here and it is REAL.

Katie Moore / Eyewitness News NEW ORLEANS – Residents in and around New Orleans have been hearing the sounds of low-flying helicopters and what sounds like bomb blasts over the past few nights, but the sounds are part of a training exercise for some of America's elite military troops.



At one Lakefront home, Gigi Burk normally hears her son, 6-year-old Beau, practicing the piano, but last night she heard something much different at around 10 p.m.
“I said, oh my God! They're bombs. That's what I thought it was, somebody dropping bombs,” Burk said.
Burk said she panicked, not knowing why she was hearing what sounded like explosions and low-flying helicopters.
“We're a little skittish around here with things that have happened,” Burk said.
But according to military officials, it’s a training exercise that brought about 150 U.S. troops from the U.S. Special Operations Command to train in New Orleans for urban warfare.
“They are regularly engaged in combat operations,” said U.S. Special Operations Command staffer Kimberly Tiscione. “They are the best of the best we have to offer across all the branches of the military.”
Black Hawk and "Little Bird" helicopters are transporting troops to several locations around New Orleans, according to Tiscione.
“They're going to be flying near buildings, doing approaches on them,” Tiscione said. “You might see them landing on the roof tops or landing on the ground near them as well.”
“I heard a bunch of explosions starting at about 10 p.m. They were about ten seconds apart, and then they'd stop, and we thought it was over, but then they started again,” said Burk.
Tiscione said that the ground troops were performing “breeches at several different locations.
“So, they're moving through doorways or walls or that sort of thing. They're also doing weapons proficiency,” Tiscione said.
The forces are using simulated ammunitions, almost like paintball pellets, to conduct the training. And even though the noise may affect your neighborhood, the night-time training is only supposed to last from sundown to 11 p.m., according to Tiscione.
“They are the best of the best because they get these kind of training events,” she said.

Maybe they can destroy the old buildings still standing (and abandoned) after Katrina. The city is still trying to recover from that mess, so the exercises can be held there and not harm anyone.

judging by the video it seems more like the populated area, on CAMPUS and DOWNTOWN. Go figure they have a wide range of abandoned houses to use but choose to try it out in populated areas

They still have to fly over those areas. Even parts of downtown are still abandoned.

I don't think it is very wise to rebuild a city in a hurricane zone that is already below sea level. They saw the damage created by a storm that was losing power. What if the next one is a category five hurricane that actually hits the city point blank? (Katrina's most powerful part of the storm actually missed the city.)
