The US military is preparing for urban warfare. Under capitalized urban governments is here right in The USA! With illegal immigration in mass then 2030 is coming and The United Nations is preparing and it seems The U.S.Army is preparing for armed conflict with it's citizens!

According to a startling Pentagon video obtained by The Intercept, the future of global cities will be an amalgam of the settings of "Escape from New York" and "Robocop" - with dashes of the "Warriors" and "Divergent" thrown in. It will be a world of Robert Kaplan-esque urban hellscapes - brutal and anarchic supercities filled with gangs of youth-gone-wild, a restive underclass, criminal syndicates, and bands of malicious hackers.
At least that's the scenario outlined in "Megacities: Urban Future, the Emerging Complexity," a five-minute video that has been used at the Pentagon's Joint Special Operations University. All that stands between the coming chaos and the good people of Lagos and Dhaka (or maybe even New York City) is the U.S. Army, according to the video, which The Intercept obtained via the Freedom of Information Act.

We have been changing our doctrine since Korea and Vietnam to handle MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain) missions. The days of facing your opponents military force on an open field away from civilians is over. The threat is higher from NGO (Non Govermental Organziations) than from a uniformed force of another nation. Terrorism is cheap and easy to wage for even the smallest of groups and some nations would prefer radical groups to carry out operations for them instead of them actually risking legal sanctioned warfare.
To expect the military to not think ahead is unacceptable. They should plan for any and all contingencies.
Perhaps it is just me having spent 26 years in uniform and deployed to multiple locations around the globe, but what that video is talking about is our military adapting to the anticipated chaotic urban environment of 3rd world countries.

Yes that is true however The USA is becoming more like third world countries each passing day with blue collar factory workers losing their jobs to oversea workers plus hordes of illegals pouring in The USA taking all government subsidies plus service and construction jobs.
And don't forget A.I. robot machines along with 3-d printing which is technology pushing out skilled and semi skilled workers into unemployment and poverty. This is not just about other areas in the world it's about The United Nations 2030 agenda which The USA will be part of.

Because when the last thing you expect to happen DOES, you'd better have some plan ready to go.
posse comitatus act forbids our military from actions in our country.
The NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act)of 2012 allows our president to use military forces
inside the United States against citizens. If there were an
uprising the President could declare martial law and send in the
military. anyone could be detained indefinitely, no trial, no more
legal rights if your considered a subversive, or rose up against the
government.
I believe passed by congress and signed by Obama.
That Carter, Klinton & Oblammy have aided, abetted & sold those foreign gubmints our secrets hasn't helped.
the biggest enemy to the AMERICAN citizen and taxpayer is the unamerican government.....their pocket $$$ first and any illegal or foreign country benefitted/protected before a citizen
BINGO!!
