US troops to get new headgear for 'Homeland Security operations'

The U.S. Army is planning to develop new protective headgear for soldiers that will shield them from ballistic munitions, small arms ammunition and blunt trauma as part of missions that will include ?homeland security operations.?

?

A solicitation on behalf of the Army Contracting Command asks for potential vendors to present proposals for the development and production of new headgear as part of the Soldier Protection System (SPS).

?

?This head protection ensemble is planned to replace the current helmet system. The SPS will provide the Soldier multiple levels of ballistic protection that can be tailored to select mission profiles and protection against specific threats from conventional fragmenting munitions, small arms ammunition, and blunt impact. Soldiers equipped with the SPS will be able to accomplish a broad range of missions. The SPS will protect Soldiers involved in major combat operations, stability operations, homeland security operations, joint operating concepts, and the joint force functional concept,? states the solicitation.

?

Developers are asked to present white papers featuring details of the helmet systems by no later than September 4.

?

The fact that U.S. troops are getting new headgear to protect them from gunfire during ?homeland security operations? will once again stoke fears that the government is preparing for violent civil unrest on U.S. soil.

?

Using the Army to conduct domestic operations is illegal under Posse Comitatus except under extreme circumstances.

?

The Department of Homeland Security is also making preparations for domestic disorder with its recent order of riot gear. Questions have also been asked about why the DHS is purchasing over a billion rounds of ammunition, enough to wage a 7-year ground war.

?

Fears that the U.S. Army is being readied to take on disgruntled Americans in the aftermath of a major economic collapse are being stoked by clear preparations based around that very premise.

?

A recent academic study written by retired Army Colonel Kevin Benson depicts a shocking scenario in which the U.S. Army is used to restore order to a town that has been seized by Tea Party ?insurrectionists? in 2016 following a ?great recession.?

?

The paper emphasizes how the U.S. Army?s Operating Concept 2016-2028 dictates that the military?s ?full spectrum operations? will include ?operations within American borders.? prisonplanet.com
