Ha! Bastrop county! No doubt they will be operating out of Camp Swift. I'm sure. Can't figure out the reason Goliad and Victoria are on there, though. Did quite a bit of work at Camp Swift in the early 90's. Did it escape the fire? I know lots of the pines burned around Bastrop.

Maybe I'm being naive about this, but doesn't the military have plenty of secure land available to them to perform these exercises on where the chance of interaction and possible confrontation is practically nil?

Did quite a bit of work at Camp Swift in the early 90's. Did it escape the fire? I know lots of the pines burned around Bastrop. Yeah Swift escaped that fire. But they do have the fire school there and they conduct controlled burns there during the summer. Most of the big stuff was along the SH 71 corridor. Between Bastrop and Smithville. I can always put momma and Wifey in their wheelchairs as soft targets! LOL! Moms so weak she will just havta set there and Steph is still paralyzed on left side pretty good so all she will do is push herself around in a circle. I still have moms hover round I can ride! We'll look like a blue hair bus tour at the Grand Canyon! !

Seeing troops on private land is nothing new - in Louisiana. For years every spring/summer they would have war games. Drive all over the country, tear down fences, drive across pastures, etc. They always repaired whatever the tore down or broke.
I was at my cousins house one summer and when we got out the next morning, we were surrounded. They had chosen my uncles place as an enemy headquarters or something, and had slipped in during the night and surrounded the place. We had heard the dogs barking during he night, but didnt pay any attention, just figured it was a varmint of some kind. This would go on for 2-3 weeks and then it was over. That was the ground training part.
The bombing, which took place on Fort Polk, would last a lot longer. We would get to see fighters headed for the base flying low, and then in a few minutes they would be coming back with other fighters chasing them. Bombs could be heard and at night we could see the flares dropping to the ground and the bomb flashes.
This was 50 years ago and my cousins said they did this every summer, so I'm guessing they still do.

Randy!
Remember reading about the BIG one they had there right before WWII. There's a famous pic of Patton in his Stuart!!! Also still a lot of mounted cav units were used there!!

If H&H (Hussein and Holder) could be jointly in charge, we could all sleep better knowing that nothing would possibly go wrong and that our best interests would be upheld and to the highest standards.

In other words, the Commissioner's Court for a particular County can't "invite" them, which is how the article reads. I thought the 3rd prohibited mandatory quartering of troops. The 4th and 10th would appear to be more prohibitive of this kind of intrusion to me. Of course as we all know, that's all in theory as the Constitution has been suspended by the usurper, anyway.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

I think "quartering" has a wider definition than just sleeping in your house. And...... Texas law allows a homeowner IN A RURAL AREA to use deadly force AFTER DARK against any intruder. And...... Lots of locked gates in Texas nowadays.

It covers sleeping and setting up "residence" (i.e., tents, barracks, etc.) or staging themselves, equipment, materials, etc., in your home or buildings or on your property. They'll not be doing that; they'll be quartering on .mil or .gov installations and going wherever they damn well please between 2300 and 0400, every night, for two months.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

Does anyone know what legal authority they have to do this? What happens when a landowner shoots somebody that surprises him in the dark??

Or could it be close to similar operating ranges and terrain/enviroment for a raid on Iran? Check the distances. A base of operations in a secure area to an objective in the Iranina mountains? Perhaps the Iranian nuclear labs? The mumbo jumbo they speak (milspeak?) could hint at getting support or dealing with populations in other countries. A lot of shoot/don't shoot scenarios and other wrinkles to a plan that should be ironed out before attempting.

Easy there Ranger.
It's not like whole towns that looked some middle eastern schithole were built in the desert, used in live training exercises, then dismantled in less than a week, or anything like that....
