Guard does it all the time when they have FTXs or annual training. I did it on active duty a few times in the early 2000s but in the TNARNG we convoyed to camp Shelby MS every year like this. The key though was we convoyed without any ammo, not even blanks.
Edit: most national guard locations don’t have enough land for a real FTX onsite
Our kids school has buckets of rocks, there supposed to throw rocks at active shooters if they come into the room.
Kind of laughable but from a psychological perspective it could be effective. Criminals don’t like targets that fight back. Getting shotgunned by 20 rocks when you enter a room is a better defense than nothing.
NG convoys frequently refuel at truck stops. I convoyed from TN to MI multiple times with the TNARNG over several years and we did this every time. It’s actually really common.
Truck stops usually have enough room for a large convoy of vehicles to pass through.
We should show up to protest wearing giant knitted cock hats
