Operation Jade Helm 15

Congressman Louie Gohmert, of the 1st Texas Congressional District, has weighed in on the upcoming military training exercise, Jade Helm 15. In a statement sent to Breitbart Texas, the six-term Republican says that his office “has been inundated with calls” and that people are “concerned that the U.S. Army is preparing for modern-day martial law.”

Norris said Governor Abbott was right to send a letter to Maj. Gen. Gerald Betty, commander of the Texas State Guard, and demand regular updates on the progress and safety of Jade Helm.

On Saturday at South Carolina Republican Party’s annual convention, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who recently won two straw polls in two of South Carolina’s biggest counties, forcefully attacked big business for its collusion with the Democratic Party in attacking Indiana’s religious liberty law. He also slammed the Obama administration for its intrusion on Americans’s liberty.

Governor Greg Abbott has called out the Texas State Guard to monitor the U.S. Army’s Operation Jade Helm 15. The massive, multi-state special warfare exercise is set to start in July and run through September.

The largest peace time military training operation in the U.S. since the 1950’s starts in July, and one city in west Texas is welcoming them with open arms. “Jade Helm 15” is the exercise, and it’s being planned and executed by The Army Special Operations Command.
