I've not been by there in a good long while now as I seldom would have reason to BUT the last time I was out there the prison camp at Ft. McClellan was still fully functional and in good shape. Back when it was still an active fort they trained troops in the use of it.

The base is still used by Army Reservist and National Guard and the gate going to their area (which also happens to be where the prison camp is located) still says Fort on it but the rest of the gates into the old base now just say McClellan without the title Fort on them.

With minimal effort it could be reactivate and there is plenty of land there and at Pelham Range to house hundreds of thousands should they want to.

Operation diomedes, wow, real scary. News flash. The military has done this since I was a kid. When I was a kid in ILL they would camp in farmers hayfields and practice all sorts of things, sometimes a week or more.  I see nothing wrong here. POWDERMAN.  ??? ???

Well Charlie, when a guy has spent his whole life hiding in the basment in a faraday cage. They don't get to see what happens in the real world. Common things scare them, that is why they are hiding. Ya ever notice, most normal folks here will let people know their real name, and the location they live in? But now the nuts they are hiding.

TM7,
I think you ment to use Obama's symbol on the flag and arm band
Obama has a lot more in common with the Nazi's then do any republican.
And as far as the republicans being racist the democrats, like Al Gore Sr voted against the civil rights act that Johnson pressed through and with out the republicans it never would have passed.
But back to Barry and Adolf.
Both wrote auto biographies before they did anything.
Both have a stupid symbol they use rather than the national one.
Both had absent fathers.
Both were born in another country from the one they rule.
Both gave great speaches.
both had no idea how the economy worked.
Both want national health care.
Both had ideas about the sick and lame.  (adolf just killed them Barry wants to have and end of life coach)
Both wanted control over the Media.
Both fear the Military
Both Now have a private army.  
Both want concentration camps for political rivals.
Both use scape goats to pass legislation they want
Both nationalize part of the banks and heavy machinery industries.
Both feel you owe the state and them rather than it owes you.
Both failed in the private sector.

FT KNOX has training camps set up for house to house searches and fighting. News has shown it off and on for years. Seems it's helped our soldiers in dealing with the Godless ones all over the world. Guys, if these camps exist like some of you think I'm not seeing it here in Kentucky. Maybe they do, I'd put nothing past osama. POWDERMAN.  ??? ???

As for the FEMA camps.. Here in Michigan there are about 8 state prisons that have been closed down for budget reasons. It would be real easy to re-open those if the feds/nwo need them. One, Camp Lehman, is just outside of Grayling, and I have seen it personally.
Even if these facilities weren't available it doesn't mean that the govt. can't round up whoever they want to. It did not take them long to do it to americans of japanese decent during WW2. But I'll just console myself by chanting over and over,"It can't happen here again."

Ya'll sure are giving FEMA a lot of credit. Seeing them in action during hurricane relief, in one city, was turmoil. The citizen volunteers and schoolbus drivers had it more together.

Watched a program on if there was a nuke set off in Washington DC , seems if only 10% of the people got out that would be 750000 going to western VA and West VA . that would overwhelm those areas . Maybe the campes are needed ? Maybe those plastics coffins are also as the entire country won't have enough burn wards to go around if you could transport the people leaving many to die for lack of medical help. Many will be in areas that can't be accessed due to fallout .
 The rest of the show was worst .

I just got my copy of NORTHCOMs H1N1 OPORD and I'm not seeing any references, subtle or blatant, to quarantine camps, confiscation, or forced anything. Primary concern is sustained mission with estimated temporary 40% reduction in workforce, delegation of authority 3 levels deep, and implementation of care plans for family members attached to any US based military command. That's DOD though ... I would think DHS would be the point for domestic issues.

TN... medical emergency as endemic/epidemics is justification for martial law I persume..?

You would presume wrong in this specific case; searched the text multiple occaissions. The DOD plan for NORTHCOM (North America) has nothing to do with civilian population aside from family members, and that only to ensure continuity of services currently provided to them. It is not a plan for the "people", just a plan for how the military will continue to operate during an H1N1 event. There's a war on y'know.  ;)

There may be a separate plan somewhere, but again, I think you'll find any plan aimed at the civilian population to be generated either by DHS, FEMA or State Agencies. You may choose to disbelieve, but DOD actually is interested in what's going on outside our borders.

TN the DOD in it's current roll is responsible for base security among other things. I do understand it does go a little deeper than that. But Martial law I believe is usually interpreted as military control. There are DOD on the bases I work on. They are govt employees who go home off base. Just considered civil servants. While there they are security, investigators, police, etc,,,, a police force for federal land. I may be totally wrong but I thought martial law would be the military or military reserve? Not at all being obtuse towards you. I would like to know how their Northcom plan has to do with civilians besides the ones that visit the bases? Asking because wondering if this is another federal entity the population needs to worry about? Actually we most likely need to worry about them all.

Asking because wondering if this is another federal entity the population needs to worry about? Actually we most likely need to worry about them all.

I poked around a little and most of the scare is out of some things FEMA has been associated with around H1N1, not DOD. Martial law has historically been the role of the National Guard, which until recently fell solely under the direction of the Governor of the state to which they are assigned.

NORTHCOM is a geographic label, like CENTCOM, AFRICOM, PACOM ... Its responsibility under DOD is basing and contracts in North America, as such they have no organic operational capacity. If it helps to understand, the 82nd may be operational, but they don't take orders from base, for example. So the current order in effect was issued to those commands with base responsibilities. Many many civilians work on bases, and many more are family of the service members. In the event of an epidemic, all base operations are supposed to have contingency plans to keep running things like the engineering plant, medical, etc. Anything considered life support to base, or critical, and anything base provides to operational commands, or tenants, that operate on the base. As I've read the plan, civilian employees and contractors serving in those areas considered critical to base will continue to work. Things like housing construction, base schools, and the Robin Hoods deli will most likely be closed. Force protection on the bases will most likely increase, and movement on off base will be restricted further. If the civilian workforce is heavily affected, then unaffected military personnel may be reassigned to fill gaps to keep the medical center open and the lights on ... on base.

Again, this order has nothing to do with anything off base, i.e. not your home town. This is just continuation of operational capability on military bases.The intent of the order is to ensure that a defensive force remains in readiness throughout an epidemic in the event an enemy chose that moment to exploit our weakness. "Provide for the common defense" is still our mission.
