Couldn't get it to embed, but this looks like a good day of training.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- SkyEye 13 HD was over the south side where at first look, it appears there's a massive SWAT scene happening.

People have been calling police, as well as our newsroom, saying they're hearing gunshots in the area of Scott and Airport. It turns out, the Army says, it's a multi-agency training drill. They're doing it at the old Carnegie High School.
Helicopters were also involved. The Army isn't giving any details of what the training is about.
So if you see the helicopters or hear gunfire, it's only a drill.

The camera operator gets zoomed in pretty close to the guys to see they have GPNVGs on the guys heads.

If this does not belong here, please move or delete.
Thanks.

Looks like they used the local paint ball population as OPFOR.

Liked the two guys taking a knee and watching each other's backs.

How could someone in the Military watch this, and not want to be part of it?

Same vid but on YT this time.
Interesting to see the "four-eye" NODs

USASOC spokesperson says they coordinated with the Houston police department to allow 80 soldiers from Fort Bragg to participate in the training. It's not Battalion boys.

Plus I texted an E7 from 2/75 and he says we don't have any GPNVG 18s. 50 shooters + 30 helo pilots = a CAG squadron doing some good training.

It's a good day for the 75th when you can't tell the difference between CAG and a Ranger PLT.

Either the Kush took about a 5.2 earthquake or the shudder I felt was a fanboygasm over the release of that video.

Now that they know it's CAG...

It wasn't the Kush, and it was bigger than 5.2. The epicenter was 52.2300° N, 21.0108° E.

It is a little known company within all SF groups. We have same equipment as our big brothers. Can't tell the difference since integration during OIF.

The Cape Fear Regional Theater Company at Fayetteville, I was wondering how their production of "To Kill A Mocking Terrorist" was going to work out?
