    CBS miami had some more info on it and some videos of soldiers repelling onto a platform. They said it was training for "overseas urban combat"

    The comment section has entertaining thoughts that got my mind wondering

    Understood. I'm going to go spend some quality time with the reloading bench now.

    Yep... most of those guys are Oath Keepers. I'd say most that are apart of Special Operations Foundation are pretty much on our side...

    we did things like this from time to time. On our MEU work ups we practiced by attacking buildings in downtown LA and even at one point practiced raiding abandoned houses in residential neighborhoods.

    During FleetEx, the MSPF conducted a Direct Action mission, a Gas/Oil Platform takedown mission and a ship Visit, Board, Search and Seizure mission. With more than four months experience together training as a team, the MSPF was able to perfect their skills during its last pre-deployment training cycle before SOCEX.

    The Direct Action mission, conducted in the Los Angeles area, tested the MSPF's ability to hunt down and secure a person indicted of a war crime from ship to shore. The MSPF's experience and teamwork enabled swift, silent and deadly success.

    My in-laws live up by the Southsite and they experience nighttime military training directly over their house almost every summer. Low flying choppers stick around for 30-45 minutes typically. Although I don't think they do any ground drills nor have they ever heard any blank firing.
