Where I live they have a mock i guess call it a city block where they do training such as this. Mock office building, gas station with convenience store, houses etc. Swat, military and various law enforcement branches use the facility.

Every once in a while videos like this pop up from the local warehouse employees, or some truck driver making a delivery freaking out thinking some shit is going on.

That said, this video is a little concerning with so many cars flying by. Our training facility is in an industrial area, surrounded by huge warehouses where the only people who would have any reason to be there are people who work in the warehouses or big rigs making delivery

The location is suburban, right next to a major local intersection. Also across the street from a major childrens' hospital with helicopters frequently flying in and out.

Bad choice of location. Fuck Netsmart for letting them do it.

Used to work there. Was hoping it was a raid on the management. They are deserving of it. Also, their software is crap - I used to Lead QA and regularly was over-ruled by management for refusing to sign off on buggy releases due to "it being the quarter soon." I left tech after working there. I was so beaten down.

This is like 1/2 mile south of my house as well. What makes no sense is they have the whole old Sprint campus a mile south of there that they could practice on - lots of clear space and not a whole lot of tennants. They land all sorts of shit there for Veterans' Day.

https://law.justia.com/cases/kansas/court-of-appeals/2024/127653.html#:~:text=termination%20of%20SOW%20,Netsmart%27s%20nonpayment%20of%20the%20early

Contract Dispute (SoftServe vs. Netsmart, 2024): In late 2024, a Kansas Court of Appeals ruled on a contract dispute between Netsmart and an IT vendor, SoftServe, Inc. . The conflict arose after Netsmart invoked a force majeure due to the 2022 Russia–Ukraine war – SoftServe’s team included Ukraine-based developers – to terminate a services agreement without paying a termination fee .

[-]

Resident_Chip935@reddit

To laymen here - this just means that NetSmart is run by cheap bastards not wanting to pay American workers livable wages & reasonable benefits. Prior to the invasion by Imperial Russia, Ukraine was a hub for outsourcing of software development. As opposed to other places, Ukrainians were viewed as efficient and effective.

The lawsuit is basically that NetSmart didn't want to pay the contract termination fee. At least, that's what I'm reading it to mean.

yikes there is a reason you don't want military going after gang bangers or cartel members. Its a severe over reaction, and improper usage of resources.

Not if you want to expand their scope to dissidents and undesirables.

[-]

YeetedApple@reddit

Exactly. Even if most think it is excessive, few will oppose it not wanting to side with the gangs/cartels. Once everyone is used to this, you expand the scope to include domestic gangs in cities and now you have your excuse to go after any cities you want. It's textbook authoritarian squashing any potential protest or dissent against you.

Maydayman@reddit

OP I’m not buying into the whole prep for government overtake but this post is interesting to me for a couple reasons.

This is a private business - all military practice drills are on at least vacant property or government buildings like others have talked about
This looks like it may definitely be FBI - the FBI has blackbawks. All of them have “N” numbers so they can definitely be tracked with ADSB or FR24 if their transponder is turned on. What stands out to me the most is the Red 206, in the background those are commonly used by the FBI HRTs. If it is indeed the military ATO has been seen operating these which means CAG is involved with an infantry unit. Definitely odd they’d be out in the middle of the day though….

Interesting post for the wrong reason

They have been doing this a lot by me as well. This could be something as simple as keeping up training, or with a high turnover rate of people coming and going so they need to be qualified and this is the testing.

They do ours at night and often over water though. There’s an island they use to spot it looks like a boat drops off items to spot then the helicopter tries to find them, this is just how it looks from the outside no clue what’s really happening.

2 blackhawks. 1 deploying at least a squad size unit. No one pulls security, exit and movement to the building. Fast, light, just a couple humping assault packs in the rear.

1 helo at the end that looks like a CG dolphin? Lands in the back of the formation. Possibly civvie or sterilized govt helo? What's their purpose?

[-]

jms21y@reddit

this is what i'm talking about. also, the blackhawks aren't MH-60's, which is how SOF usually gets around, so this is regular army.....which would point to fort riley (1ID) seeing as it's the closest active army installation that has FORSCOM troops, and then that begs other questions because fort riley has sufficient training lands for just about anything.

They have military bases to practice this sort of thing.

I sincerely hope that, should there be an accident and a civilian is injured, the entire chain of command is given the death sentence as an example of why soldiers don't play with their toys around innocent bystanders.

I realize it would never happen in real life, but setting the example would be the right thing to do.

Between June 2020 - August 2020, I was living in Gainesville, FL and saw multiple incidents of what I can only describe as some sort of Grid Lockdown Training Exercises. The first one happened in my neighborhood(that I noticed anyways) and then I saw it about 4 more times throughout that time period in different areas of the city - always around 1-2am.

Blocks of the city would be completely locked down with cop cars - uniformed officers at every single stop sign/entry area in 5x5 block grids. I would always check the next morning if there was some crime commited in that area that would warrant that sort of response. Nothing. Nada. That's why it seemed like a training exercise. Residential areas near highway access.

Idk might not be related but this video made me think of that.

The urban drills with helicopters have become normalized for several years now. I get it, that they need to train in urban environments. But the disturbing part is that they never seem to bother informing the public beforehand, or acknowledging it with inquisitive media afterwards. This happened a couple months ago in the town where I live-- low-level helicopter flights all over the town for a day and night, rattling the roofs, with no warning or explanation. It leaves residents disturbed and bewildered, and creates a wide opening for paranoia and conspiracies.
