Marines, sailors to 'invade' Jasper County for training mission

Via smokeeater


 

 About 150 Marines and sailors will hold "realistic urban training" in Jasper County later this week as part of pre-deployment training.

The 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit will train within Ridgeland town limits Thursday through Saturday. Times and exact locations for the training are not being announced, according to 2nd Lt. Gerard R. Farao.

"The training could take place at any time during those days," he said Saturday.
Residents will likely see and hear military vehicles and possibly see aircraft, Farao said. The Marines and sailors likely will be stationed on ships, and the training is part of a certification for deployment to Mediterranean and African shores, he said.

  2. There are at least 4 states with Ridgeland towns and Jasper countys. If they they hump their shit to Ridgeland, Jasper County, Missouri they'll get a load of buckshot in their ass.
    Take your flag to Tripoli and toot your horn.
