The command’s “unconventional warfare exercise” will see an Army Special Forces operational detachment work with paratroopers from the Fort Bragg, North Carolina-based airborne division, famed for its heroics during the invasion of Europe.

Conspiracy theorists claimed Jade Helm 15, which began in mid-July, would lead to citizens being jailed in converted private prisons or vacant Wal-Mart stores, but military officials have scoffed at those fears and no such incidents have been reported.

SPC Jan Allbright, M.Sc., R.S. I can understand someone concerned about the Federal government having too much power. The same fears exist regardless of administration.
Hopefully people will relax and realize that we must train for link up type of operations.

Some of the conspiracies are downright silly and given the political unrest it makes it more plausible to those who are out of their minds... lol
