Robin Sage Inquiry
Good afternoon all. Sorry I have not been as active in retirement but it seems I was a lot less busy working 5 days a week and answering a G phone the other 2. I recall a thread about Robin Sage a few years ago and cannot find it. I seem to recall that during this exercise many locals were contracted out as role players in Pineland. I also seem to remember that this did not include a heavy contingent of regular Army personnel or NG units. Is this correct? Fighting the effects of a concussion and trying to have a rational discussion on the MSM article about Robin Sage and needed some expert advice from those who have been there. Stay safe all.

Probably not what you remember, but this is a pretty good description.

Bleed Green Curious if this is a reference to the article written by Natasha A? Notice how the headline changes day by day, pure click bait...

The two-week 'guerilla war' training exercise in North Carolina is to teach secret commando soldiers how to wage a bloody civil war against political dissidents that refuse to vaccinate and against others that continue to post "Lets Go Brandon" memes on social video.
The cyber portion gives these secret commandos an opportunity to use metadata collected by Jeff Cuckaburg and Mark Gates and Bill Bozos.
The instructors for this training are hardened combat veterans that fought in the JADE HELM conflict. Resistance is futile. They can be easily identified by the Special Forces tattoo they get on their forearm - a skull with a snake and the motto "All Your Base Are Belong To Us"
Before these super warriors can graduate they have to eat a live chicken and and use mind power to kill a goat. Then they have to fuck a baby sheep after it has been shot with a high-velocity fully semiautomatic insult rifle. They are all democrats and they all have at least a third-degree yellow belt in Chinese Woke-Boxing. Again, resistance is futile.
I've flunked out of the training three times because I keep getting dizzy during the mandatory flag burning exercise.

I bet your peer reviews were epic, though.

The only hope for mankind rests with a commando by the name of Snake, a rookie recruit of the elite special forces unit FOXHOUND. As long as he can use the code “up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-b-a-select-start” to receive adequate resupply from a secret Contra base he will have a chance. But it’s still probably a suicide mission…..

There once was a young boy, who blissfully lived with his puppy, with little thought to the coming storm..
Then he attended Robin Sage and was forever changed..

Thanks everybody for your responses. Your link was outstanding Razor. I am not sure who authored the article that worked up some of my retired compatriots but thanks to you guys I thought I had a pretty good idea of what it was and what it wasn't. I do have to say I have really missed your humor Box. You all rock!!! Stay safe one and all.

It is interesting talking about "paid" contractors vs Regular Army folks and volunteers.
Prior to 9/11 we had Bragg soldiers who were tasked to support Robin Sage. After 9/11 the 82nd and other Bragg units couldn't afford to send troops out in the woods to be recruited to SF for 2 weeks, so we started paying role players. This caused some interesting issues according to some people: people who had been giving of their time and land and other resources for generations were all of a sudden offered money. Later on, when the inevitable money declined, some feelings were hurt and we lost land usage, role players, and relationships. It was like Afghanistan... but in Pineland.
Later, when the money dried up further, we started using brand new students who reported in to the Q Course. That was phase 1 for them: play a guerrilla out in the woods for 2 weeks. Funny- we all of a sudden had some attrition in the first few weeks of the Q more than normal...
I'll have to check what the current situation is- I had heard we were going away from that and going back to contractors. I do know that the overarching campaign plan the students are given these days sounds an awful lot like what we used as a baseline in Afghanistan for 20 years... (win hearts and minds!!!)
