Guy I ride bikes with got the call to report on the 18th. Something else is going on if they're activating the Marines.

It would nice if they were coming to aid the American people, and not to protect those who are actively trying to subvert the Constitution with rubber stamping a fraudulent, Chinese manipulated election.

Trump is Commander in Chief. All of the military work for him and him alone until 20 Jan. 2021.

He is the Commander in Chief. All military commanders, of All branches, answer to HIM. He is the military’s GOD, until he leaves office. The Joint Chiefs get him covfefe.

In theory, but look what happened in Syria, this is not how it plays out in practice.

???

All services report to PotUS via the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. If you know of a special exception to the chain of command for the USMC, please provide sauce.

Not exactly. The third mission of the USMC is essentially “other tasks as ordered by the president” which I believe is what you are referencing.

Chain of command goes through SECNAV and SECDEF on the way to POTUS which is similar to other branches.

I think this doc is for aspiring FMF Corpsmen but it covers the CoC and missions.

They have to respond to FEMA if there's an emergency.

Partially correct. Said differently, the Marine Corps is the only DoD component that POTUS can deploy into operations on foreign soil without congressional approval/oversight that is required before deploying resources from all other branches.

That said, I think DoD and other joint-force efforts have created many loop holes here in the last few decades.

Except when Nancy and Pence want the National Guard there, then they can ignore the chain of command.

Trump deployed the National Guard to the capital.

Have you seen the Joint Chiefs of Staff? They are politicians in uniform. I doubt any of them will help Trump.

Pikes985 2 points ago +2 / -0

True, no doubt. Its the Division and Corps. Commanders that wield the power Trump needs and they would be the ones following the constitution.

u do know that da joint chiefs literally have zero power in da military right? they’re retired generals hired on as da presidents top military advisors for each branch cause, well who tf else would u have as ur advisor for something other than people who had 1st hand XP in doing shit that they advising u on?

but they literally aint in da military anymore for as long as they’re joint chiefs. it’s a political position. they aint actual generals anymore n they cant give out any orders to anybody, not even on behalf of da prez. that’s da sec of defs job. da joint chiefs just come up with military plans that da prez can choose from for any given operation.

We don't know anything. None of the troops know anything either. They won't know their orders until the last minute and it'll be something like "get these fucking traitors and arrest them"

Order 66 type shit would be interesting

I know this might be fantasy land, but it would explain why Trump was visiting a LOT of military bases last week.

It would also prove fraud, if central was well aware left-wing politicians and Biden was in bed with the CCP, giving them power would be a massive national security threat to say the least.

Explain how 1 person tells hundreds of people a plan; as big as this one no less, and it not get leaked near real time?

Palpatine was smart to put chips in the clones brain. No hesitation or duel loyalties, and they knew exactly what to do.

Don’t soldiers recieve far more prep time for strikes? I don’t know much about the military, but I figure they’d practice raids ahead of time so they know what’s going on.

The question is just who "these fucking traitors" are, according to the people giving the orders.

Hopefully its the swamp. Be prepared for the possibility that it isn't.

Lol, they wouldn't be going to DC for that. You can be a doomer, but at least apply logic.

I think it's more insidious than this. They're manufacturing their own version of Reichstag right now. They are gathering the military. This is a power grab.

If you haven't started prepping and getting ready for this, you're crazy.

Yeah you should read about it. I have a post about it. It's EXACTLY what the left is trying to do in the US. They will try to slip something crazy through and say it's because of the fear of the "Violent extremists"
