I think the military decides where and how to practice their war games,
and I don't think they have always limited themselves to their own bases.
I have seen whole convoys running about far from any base.
The military doesn't decide shit.
The Constitution does.
Military Convoys often travel from base to base, not to conduct military operations within the United States.
Also can you provide any examples where the US Military has operated thousands of special forces troops, including Green Berets,
Army Rangers and Navy SEALs, simulating combat missions on public and private land in five states, with non-special-forces personnel
operating in two additional states?
Personally I think
Operation Jade Helm is designed to simulate a MILITARY RESPONSE to an UPRISING of the American people.
