The Civil War of 2016: U.S. military officers are told to plan to fight Americans

The Washington Times
7 August 2012

Imagine Tea Party extremists seizing control of a South Carolina town and the Army being sent in to crush the rebellion. This farcical vision is now part of the discussion in professional military circles.

At issue is an article in the respected Small Wars Journal titled Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A ‘Vision’ of the Future.

omeland-a-%E2%80%9Cvision%E2%80%9D-of-the-future

It was written by retired Army Col. Kevin Benson of the Army's University of Foreign Military and Cultural Studies at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and Jennifer Weber, a Civil War expert at the University of Kansas. It posits an “extremist militia motivated by the goals of the ‘tea party’ movement” seizing control of Darlington, S.C., in 2016, “occupying City Hall, disbanding the city council and placing the mayor under house arrest.” The rebels set up checkpoints on Interstate 95 and Interstate 20 looking for illegal aliens. It’s a cartoonish and needlessly provocative scenario.

The article is a choppy patchwork of doctrinal jargon and liberal nightmare. The authors make a quasi-legal case for military action and then apply the Army’s Operating Concept 2016-2028 to the situation.

They write bloodlessly that “once it is put into play, Americans will expect the military to execute without pause and as professionally as if it were acting overseas.” They claim that “the Army cannot disappoint the American people, especially in such a moment,” not pausing to consider that using such efficient, deadly force against U.S. citizens would create a monumental political backlash and severely erode government legitimacy.

The vision is hard to take seriously. As retired ArmyBrig. Gen. Russell D. Howard, a former professor at West Point, observed earlier in his career, “I am a colonel, colonels write a lot of crazy stuff, but no one listens to colonels, so I don’t see the problem.” Twenty years ago, then-Air Force Lt. Col. Charles J. Dunlap Jr. created a stir with an article in Parameters titled “The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012.” It carried a disclaimer that the coup scenario was “purely a literary device intended to dramatize my concern over certain contemporary developments affecting the armed forces, and is emphatically not a prediction.”

The scenario presented in Small Wars Journal isn’t a literary device but an operational lay-down intended to present the rationale and mechanisms for Americans to fight Americans. Col. Benson and Ms. Weber contend, “Army officers are professionally obligated to consider the conduct of operations on U.S. soil.” This is a dark, pessimistic and wrongheaded view of what military leaders should spend their time studying.

A professor at the Joint Forces Staff College was relieved of duty in June for uttering the heresy that the United States is at war with Islam. The Obama administration contended the professor had to be relieved because what he was teaching was not U.S. policy. Because there is no disclaimer attached to the Small Wars piece, it is fair to ask, at least in Col. Benson’s case, whether his views reflect official policy regarding the use of U.S. military force against American citizens.

UPDATE: The standard Defense Department disclaimer was added to the article after The Washington Times drew attention to the omission.

Oh come now, this is just a rehash of REX-84, GARDEN PLOT and CONPLAN 003-005.
And it's coming from the same organisation that had at one time drawn up a plan to fight a Girl Scout insurrection, so it's a little hard to take seriously this time around.

Mostly what this is about is keeping the budget money flowing to the bastards enriched by the Military-Industrial-Intel combine, while at the same time pretending that large scale ground forces have any kind of realistic relevance in the modern age of warfare.
Pretending they're not outdated fossils of a bygone age.

That's not to say they wouldn't TRY it, given half a chance, but frankly they waited too long, and the plan has become so public its an open-secret these days, as is seventy fucking years of folks working the sidelines and/or sabotaging it from inside.

Lt General Paul K Van Riper is no doubt laughing his ass off somewhere, cause this to him would be even more ludicrous than our notion of not having our ass kicked in the Persian Gulf were we to fuck with Iran on a serious level.
