Site of Latest Shooting, Raleigh NC, Also Is Under ‘Unconventional Warfare Exercise’ For Fort Bragg Special Forces Test
3 min read
On Thursday night, a tragic shooting happened in a neighborhood in Raleigh North Carolina, according to multiple media reports. The story became the biggest national news story for the late-night Thursday shows and was discussed all day on Friday, even with Democrat Joe Biden chiming in on the details.
Earlier in the week, there had been a strange school shooting in Cary, North Carolina, in Wake County, also the home of Raleigh, when someone fired a shot from a firearm into a bathroom toilet, placing the school in lockdown.
And people were very, very upset about not getting alerts, which appeared as a coordinated messaging on social media, against Republican Ted Budd, who is running for US Senate.
So the area had been under siege with warnings and lockdowns, yet it wasn’t discussed that the area is literally crawling with special forces and law enforcement as well- making the shooting super strange.
Hardly anyone had seen the story or asked any law enforcement how this special forces warfare exercise may have played into the shooting deaths.
25 NC counties, including Wake, become ‘unconventional warfare exercise’ site as Fort Bragg launches annual Special Forces test
A unique test for the intense U.S. Army course of Special Forces candidates is now underway across dozens of counties in North Carolina.
The test — called Robin Sage — is an “unconventional warfare exercise” that pits the Fort Bragg candidates for Special Forces against opposing forces in a fictional country called “Pineland.”
Robin Sage will last until Nov. 5 and takes place in 25 counties in North Carolina — including several in central North Carolina including Wake, Chatham, Cumberland, Harnett, Hoke, Lee, Moore and Sampson.
“Throughout the exercise military and civilian personnel, as well as community volunteers who serve as auxiliary actors will participate in and provide support as role-playing elements,” a news release from Fort Bragg said.
Robin Sage lasts for two weeks and is the final test for students who seek to graduate from the Special Forces Qualification Course at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Bragg.
“All Robin Sage movements and events, have been coordinated with public safety
officials throughout the various towns and counties hosting the training,” the Fort Bragg news release said. “Residents are advised to steer clear of the student elements and role-players, and may be expected to hear non-lethal ammunition sounds and see occasional non-lethal flares.”
