The U.S. Army is to invest $6 million in riot equipment, a fact
that has furthered fears that troops will be used inside the
U.S. in order to quell any civil unrest resulting from the ongoing
economic crisis.
The U.S.
Army Contracting Agency, based at Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas, has a post on the Federal
Business Opportunities website, requesting the
equipment and has received several notices of interest from
potential vendors.
The request titled "84--RIOT EQUIPMENT"
outlines the need for hard polyethylene Shin and Chest Guards,
shock absorbing Forearm Protectors, Interior leg brace supports
as well as knee and ankle protectors.
The ACA asks that the equipment be able to "safely
withstand a substantial blow... from non-ballistic weapons or
flying debris".
The Solicitation also states:
The associated North American Industrial Classification
System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 453998 with a
small business size standard of $6M. This requirement is a
[ Small Business ] set-aside and only qualified offerors may
submit bids.
Interested vendors include Irish
Brigade inc., manufacturers of hunting and safety
gear with facilities located in the heart of Kansas City , Missouri.
Federal and Military resource company MCLEARVISION,
LLC is another interested party, as is Kentucky
based U.
S. CAVALRY STORE, INC.

In our article
yesterday we highlighted the fact that Urban warfare
training drills are taking place across the country as top analysts
as well as officials predict a potential “summer of rage”
across Europe and America as civil unrest from the economic
fallout builds.
Are such drills really for the purpose of preparing troops
for foreign combat zones? Undoubtedly - but other factors indicate
that the drills may very well also be aimed at preparing troops
for dealing with mass civil unrest as the economic crisis worsens.
There’s no question that U.S. authorities have been closely
observing riots that have toppled governments in Iceland and
Latvia and also threatened to do so in several other European
countries. The fact that they have contingency plans in place
to deal with such scenarios should they unfold in America cannot
be disputed.
Indeed, before a media exposé forced them into a denial,
Northcom revealed that one of the duties of at least 20,000
active duty troops that are being placed inside the United States
would
be dealing with “civil unrest and crowd control”.
The U.S. Army War College in November released a white paper
called Known
Unknowns: Unconventional ‘Strategic Shocks’ in Defense
Strategy Development. The report warned that the
military must be prepared for a “violent, strategic dislocation
inside the United States,” which could be provoked by
“unforeseen economic collapse,” “purposeful
domestic resistance,” “pervasive public health emergencies”
or “loss of functioning political and legal order.”
The “widespread civil violence,” the document said,
“would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities
in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security.”
