 | CCMRF Troops Inside US -NorthCom Denies Role CCMRF Troops inside US -NorthCom Denies Role In a barely noticed development last week, the Army stationed an active unit inside the United States. The Infantry Divisions 1st Brigade Team is back from Iraq, now training for domestic operations under the control of US Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command. The unit will serve as an on-call federal response for large-scale emergencies and disasters. Its being called the Consequence Management Response Force, CCMRF, or sea-smurf for short. Its the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to USNORTHCOM, which was itself formed in October 2002 to provide command and control of Department of Defense homeland defense efforts. An initial news report in the Army Times newspaper last month noted, in addition to emergency response, the force may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control. The Army Times has since appended a clarification, and a September 30th press release from the Northern Command states: This response force will not be called upon to help with law enforcement, civil disturbance or crowd control." When Democracy Now! spoke to Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Jamie Goodpaster, a public affairs officer for NORTHCOM, she said the force would have weapons stored in containers on site, as well as access to tanks, but the decision to use weapons would be made at a far higher level, perhaps by Secretary of Defense, SECDEF. Well, Im joined now by two guests. Army Colonel Michael Boatner is future operations division chief of USNORTHCOM. He joins me on the phone from Colorado Springs. Were also joined from Madison, Wisconsin by journalist and editor of The Progressive magazine, Matthew Rothschild. |

EDT DATE: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 WITH COLONEL LOU VOLGER, CHIEF OF FUTURE OPERATIONS, U.S. ARMY NORTH; LIEUTENANT COLONEL JAMES SHORES, CHIEF OF PLANS FOR JOINT TASK FORCE-CIVIL SUPPORT, U.S. MARINE CORPS VIA TELECONFERENCE SUBJECT COL. VOGLER: Yes. Again, I'm Colonel Lou Vogler. I'm the chief of future operations at U.S. Army North. And U.S. Army North again is the Army component of US-NORTHCOM, and we're charged with coordinating the potential federal response in the land domain for any domestic operations or disasters, to include CBRNE -- chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high yield explosive response operations. JTFCS, which Lieutenant Colonel Shores is from, has recently fallen under us as part of our task organization to further unify this kind of response setup. You know, again, for those of you that don't know much about CCMRF, the Consequence Management Response Force is a dedicated CBRNE response force that is trained and ready to respond in the event of a -- some sort of CBRNE incident which would require a federal response in addition to those state and local forces it would reinforce. It's a scalable force. Again, it's designed to come in as part of a federal requirement given the need of a local or state agency that could not meet some gap in capabilities. And one of -- the advent of CBRNE response force -- what kind of makes it new, although its been around for a couple of years, is that it soon will be assigned directly to US-NORTHCOM, kind of enhancing our ability to ensure its readiness and shorten the lines of command, should we have to utilize this force. (Inaudible) -- any questions, that's all I have. MODERATOR: Okay. And Colonel Shores, did you have any remarks to start us out? LT. COL. SHORES: ...command and control aspects, and that's what JTFCS is -- proudly under the AR- NORTH joint force land component commander, exercising out here with our new 9.1 CCMRF assigned October 1st to certify them in accordance with General Renuart's guidance. |

 | In Flanders Field (original~words by Lt.Col.John McCrae,MD) O.K.hope you all like this tribute for all the Vets this holiday,love you all,especially you Dad!!,the lyrics are not mine I just put this amazing piece of history to music ala mindful style:here's some history! Courtesy of VFW Magazine Note: Buddy Poppies and Memorial Day: Among all the flowers that evoke the memories and emotions of war is the red poppy, which became associated with war after the publication of a poem written by Col. John McCrae of Canada. The poem, "In Flander's Field," describes blowing red fields among the battleground of the fallen. For more than 75 years, the VFW's Buddy Poppy program has raised millions of dollars in support of veterans' welfare and the well being of their dependents. The VFW conducted its first poppy distribution before Memorial Day in 1922, becoming the first veterans' organization to organize a nationwide distribution. The poppy soon was adopted as the official memorial flower of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. http://www.vfw.org/index.cfm?fa=news.newsDtl&did=4547 In Flanders Fields By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) Canadian Army IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. This is part of an e-mail,I did not write these words either but I thought I'd share them with you!! It's a sacred day to all war veterans: None need to be reminded of the reason that Memorial Day must be commemorated. But what about the general public, and more important, future generations? Do most non-veterans really recognize the importance of the day honoring their fellow Americans killed in war? Judging from what Memorial Day has become—simply another day off from work—the answer is a resounding no. Perhaps a reminder is due, then. And it is the duty of each and every veteran to relay the message. Sacrifice is meaningless without remembrance. America's collective consciousness demands that all citizens recall and be aware of the deaths of their fellow countrymen during wartime. Far too often, the nation as a whole takes for granted the freedoms all Americans enjoy. Those freedoms were paid for with the lives of others few of us actually knew. That's why they are all collectively remembered on one special day. This should be regarded as a civic obligation. For this is a national debt that can only be truly repaid by individual Americans. By honoring the nation's war dead, we preserve their memory and thus their service and sacrifice in the memories of future generations. They came from all walks of life and regions of the country. But they all had one thing in common—love of and loyalty to country. This bond cemented ties between them in times of trials, allowing a diverse lot of Americans to achieve monumental ends. We remember the loss of loved ones, a sense of loss that takes group form. In essence, America is commemorating those who made the greatest sacrifice possible—giving one's own life on behalf of others. Means of paying tribute vary. Pausing for a few moments of personal silence is available to everyone. Attending commemorative ceremonies is the most visible way of demonstrating remembrance: Placing flags at gravesites, marching in parades, sponsoring patriotic programs, dedicating memorials and wearing Buddy Poppies are examples. Whether done individually or collectively, it is the thought that counts. Personal as well as public acts of remembering are the ideal. Public displays of patriotism are essential if the notion of remembering war dead is to be instilled in youth. As America's older war veterans fast disappear from society's landscape, there are fewer and fewer standard-bearers left to carry the torch of remembrance. Such traditions will live on only if there is a vibrant movement to which that torch can be passed. Now, more than in recent years, the enduring relevance of Memorial Day should be clearly evident. With two wars under way, the public has no excuse not to remember. This much is owed to the more than 4,500 Americans who have died thus far in Afghanistan and Iraq.
