Yeah and there was a guy on the other thread saying he did this dozens of times and they never left without a weapon. You wouldn't even think of doing these drills unarmed apparently.
I see military at the local truck stops all the time, but they are not driving combat vehicles. Tracked vehicles are always on a truck and usually stuff like strikers are on a truck. Army has lots of trucks and I see a lot of military equipment rolling down the interstate on civilian trucks.
And the Army (at least anything combat related) ALWAYS carries real weapons on exercises. No ammo, but always weapons, both personal and vehicle mounted.
Interesting, nowhere I've ever been stationed ever had real weapons in public during an exercise. Once we got to where we were going they were issued but not before.
Former army guy here, nasty girl, actually. No, this is NOT normal at all, Even for the guard. AT (annual training) is always in the summer. Could be nothing, but hey, maybe it’s something?
Army guy here, from 2id was in a stryker brigade......this is not normal. It would be normal if they were heading to docks for a deployment. Outside of that this looks serious, they even have the rpg armor grate on the outside, its fully uparmored. The grate going along the outside is designed to catch rocket propelled grenades. We only put those on for the real deal. Also we never rolled on civilian roads during the night. Every convoy i was ever in to a trainign exercise was during the day
During the deployment to Kosovo in the mid 90s they tried doing a night road March in Germany with tanks and got a bunch of people killed and injured. They used to road march tracked vehicles during the Cold War but stopped even driving the tanks off post after.
Actually military refills at truck stops all the time this is nothing other than normal at all except that you're watching some trucker and some hooker freak out about it
The inauguration area is so big they are going to need really, really big circles this time to make it look like the small crowd is intentional. Like 300 feet circles. And the media will be like "oh it's a shame more people wouldn't fit".
They make convenient places to rotate drivers on long convoys to/from training posts. The training area my unit used most was a 6-hour drive away, and we had designated stops to swap drivers at a rest area, a truck stop, and a weigh station.
I know. Some 12 hour drives require break stops to stretch the legs, or space to refuel. But also, in my experience/thinking about it, they make good mustering/rally points because highways all connect and the large open spaces of truck car parks make for good organisation space. If commencing training cross battalions/regiments. I personally don't give this video any credit because couldn't find a date to it.
They did activate the guard and say they may be amed but yeah, are they really hunting boogaloo bois? The guys in the capitol were harmless, seems like a lot of work for post victory theater.
Given that it's a truck stop you can't necessarily go off of accent. I recently had a flagpole delivered and the trucker was from Vermont and I live in Washington State
Lots of info missing about this. When was it taken? Where? Which truck stop? How far away is the closest army base? How far away is the closest National Guard base (was it a Natl Guard training weekend?). I'll admit, it's a bit weird to see them going through a truck stop like that, but not impossible.
Assuming you're correct on El Paso, then this shouldn't be surprising at all. El Paso is home to Fort Bliss, which is a HUGE base and has plenty of military equipment stationed at it. Although it is a bit odd for them to roll through a truck stop like that, given the lack of other people posting the same thing and being equally surprised is telling. More than likely it was just the Army Guard guys finishing up their training and returning to base. I initially thought it was odd that the guy was walking ahead of the vehicles, then I remembered that visibility in those things is terrible, so he's probably just walking as a spotter to makes sure they don't hit anything.
The military is 100% behind the current Commander in Chief. They're preparing for the unrest that will follow Trump taking back the election - or arresting those who committed treason 1/6.
Texas is probably one of the few states that will allow Trump to begin prepping for martial law across the nation.
The only thing I can think of is they had to go to civilian pumps to fill up because the pumps on post maybe went down??? But even if that was the case, normally they would turn in weapons, then fill up after training...
Active duty and National Guard vet, even when I was deployed to New Orleans, we where not armed, all weapons where in a locked trailer. It's not uncommon for a convoy to stop for gas at a truck stop.
Since when do the military fill up at the gas station? I get if it's a convoy in the piss middle of nowhere, but if this was very close to fort bliss, then why not fill up at the base?
I have no idea where they are. Food, fuel, rest, stragglers, etc. Happens all the time. Cant speak to weapons as I have no idea what's there and what isn't. Have travelled both, mounted, dismounted in USA, BUT usually no ammo with the weapons. If a convoy with ammo, minimally armed with some ammo available to select few for protection. Everything is mission dependent and nobody bothered to ask these young Americans what was going on. Why is that?
I've been hearing different rumors as to where these might be. I've heard everything from Texas or Florida to i-95 in New Jersey and Colorado springs at 3:00 in the morning.
Seen some defeatist / BS posts around claiming that this is old footage but I don't think it is.
They may travel from base to base occasionally but not with weapons or at 3:00 in the morning. They also rarely do training exercises this time of year because of poor weather throughout most of the country
Okay army guy here. Them rolling in strykers with weapons mounted in the RWS is definitely not normal.
Dudes on sky watch in the back, too.
or drones yes
Not the skies, just the sides and rear of the vehicle to increase security and situational awareness.
I mean, I guess you could watch the skies too... if you want...
Thanks for your input. We need more input from military guys on here.
Yeah, the military doesn't gas up at the truck stop. They don't carry real weapons during exercises. This is definitely not normal.
We gas at the truck stops all the time.
Yeah and there was a guy on the other thread saying he did this dozens of times and they never left without a weapon. You wouldn't even think of doing these drills unarmed apparently.

I never did exercises off post. We didn’t carry weapons when we were railheading or just moving vehicles but that wouldn’t be considered an exercise.

TOMAHAWK

Doing a night road march is highly unusual.
Depends on where they are. See that in Amboy all the time.
If it was training exercise...guns would not be mounted...
Domestic convoys don't roll at night.
Makes sense. You only roll at night for specific reasons.
Exactly what i said
The evidence is just building up something is going down. You don't see that at a Truck stop.
The evidence has been “building” for months and nothing happens. Just like nothing will happen now.
Actually military refills at truck stops all the time this is nothing other than normal at all except that you're watching some trucker and some hooker freak out about it
They also don't have armaments attached and troops with rifles during normal refills
Domestic convoys don't roll at night.
they don’t do that fully armed
Why would we trust anything coming outta John McStain?
"lot lizard"
use the correct nomenclature
Actually they don't like to be called lot lizards anymore, they are "recreational reptiles"
Maybe they just want to protect the 6 people who want to attend Bidens "inauguration" .....
Is that including his cracked up family?
The inauguration area is so big they are going to need really, really big circles this time to make it look like the small crowd is intentional. Like 300 feet circles. And the media will be like "oh it's a shame more people wouldn't fit".
"I told you to go before we left!"
Also, Army convoys drive their own gas stations. I wonder if they were just training using local resources?
Sometimes truck stops have large open space for parking. A lot of room to park, if space is needed.
I thought my quip about stopping to use the john was funny but it got downvoted. Comedy, like math, is hard.
I thought it was funny, have an upvote.

There are laws preventing soldiers to be armed in the United States.
it's considered an aggressive act. You have to have something serious for them to suit up.
The soldier directing traffic was strapped too.
The accent of these people sound like Virgina/WV. So I don't know. But that is unsettling.
Since when did laws matter...
Given that it's a truck stop you can't necessarily go off of accent. I recently had a flagpole delivered and the trucker was from Vermont and I live in Washington State
The larpaloo bois dont have RPG or armored vehicles for which you would need a .50 cal... This is something else.

It was in TX last night. I can't remember exactly what city but I believe I read El Paso
I heard El Paso
Assuming you're correct on El Paso, then this shouldn't be surprising at all. El Paso is home to Fort Bliss, which is a HUGE base and has plenty of military equipment stationed at it. Although it is a bit odd for them to roll through a truck stop like that, given the lack of other people posting the same thing and being equally surprised is telling.

.. armed?
"Guns out" armed? Yes. Whether there are rounds in the chamber, noone knows for certain.
El Paso cityyyyyyyyyy
By the rio graaandeeee
Hmm.. That's not very normal, is it?
For the Pedes, or for the traitors?
This is the Big Question.
Sadly, these boys are going to be working for the traitors. MAGA are the new terrorists. Welcome to the War on Terror 2.0, and we're the baddies.
The military is 100% behind the current Commander in Chief. They're preparing for the unrest that will follow Trump taking back the election - or arresting those who committed treason 1/6.
Texas is probably one of the few states that will allow Trump to begin prepping for martial law across the nation.
Or they are ready to quell the revolt of Texas.
I wouldn’t say 100%. A good number of generals are deep state mafia. Kay Griggs warned us.
I’ve watched this video several times.
I’ve brightened my phone as much as I can....
I do NOT see blank adaptors on those weapons.....
No succession for Texas. Damn.
Why the truck stop?
Taquito munchies?
Can’t arrest piles of commies on an empty stomach!
There is no way these boys aren’t ready to help their President Trump rescue this country. Not gonna be Biden’s bitches or The Ho’s goon squad.
The only thing I can think of is they had to go to civilian pumps to fill up because the pumps on post maybe went down??? But even if that was the case, normally they would turn in weapons, then fill up after training...
We stop at truck stops all the time to fuel our convoy
this is from Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs? Every time I've seen this video since late last night it said it was in TX. I believe El Paso if I remembered correctly.
probably, knowing this place
New. This is a repost of the original though.
Saw the original post on Facebook with the date not long ago.
Nah there is a text that comes through while the recording is going on that mentions an article from 1/5/20 so it’s new
Active duty and National Guard vet, even when I was deployed to New Orleans, we where not armed, all weapons where in a locked trailer. It's not uncommon for a convoy to stop for gas at a truck stop.
I would hate to be the only guy there with the GPC card for gas.
Since when do the military fill up at the gas station? I get if it's a convoy in the piss middle of nowhere, but if this was very close to fort bliss, then why not fill up at the base?
As a many time convoy commander, this refueling happens all the time. Weapons, hard to say at this point.
What's the reason? Capacity at the base?
I have no idea where they are. Food, fuel, rest, stragglers, etc. Happens all the time. Cant speak to weapons as I have no idea what's there and what isn't.

LOL, 6 trucks are driving around somewhere we don't know... looks very usual to me.
Where and when...
Where did this take place?
They couldn't beat 2500 cave dwellers in trashcanistan. Don't worry, the command and leadership are mostly morons and political appointees.
I just remembered when T walked into the CIA or FBI and gave them all a round of applause. Where's that vid..
Kinda vague, Did I miss The Who what when where and why??? Date and time of video?
I've been hearing different rumors as to where these might be. I've heard everything from Texas or Florida to i-95 in New Jersey and Colorado springs at 3:00 in the morning.

Dude filming in a Rolls Royce?
Grow up. We are really going to hang off of what some trucker and some dirty hooker or going crazy about with their low IQ?
Shillllllll
They stand out like dogs balls, don't they? I mean....... who rolls in here with a handle mentioning He We Do Not Name.... ghey.
