The urban training drills included a assault by land, sea and air which simulated a mock terrorist attack that included terrorists kidnapping Mayor Bob Buckhorn. The Special forces included international troops form around the world with countries like; Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Jordan, Norway, Poland, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates all playing a role in the drill.

Major Increase in Urban Warfare Drills
From the urban warfare drills in Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles to the gigantic show of force during Chicago’s NATO summit, some are starting to wonder what these drills are really all about. While we get that our troops need to train, the overwhelming number of recent urban warfare drills on the streets of America really makes you wonder what’s about to go down. Does the government have intel that suggests a future attack, or is this just to desensitize Americans to the site of military patrolling the streets of America?
