and checking it routinely. Anyone else keeping track of the Constitution
violations and weird military stuff going on, such as:

On Feb. 14, our US Military Northern Command, top officer, Gen. Gene
Renuart, and Canadian Lt. Gen. Marc Dumais, head of Canada Command, signed
an agreement with little fanfare or announcement. This agreement allows the
military from either nation to send troops across each other's borders
during an emergency; a "civil emergency". Posse comitatus is a U.S. law
that prohibits the use of federal troops from conducting law enforcement
duties on domestic soil unless approved by Congress. It's a longstanding
federal statute that restricts the government's ability to use the U.S.
military as a police force. The Canadian military would not be bound by that
restriction.

Old news but it does fit in with your report. One sourse called this a "Homeland Tour"

3rd Infantry’s 1st BCT trains for a new dwell-time mission. Helping ‘people at home’ may become a permanent part of the active Army

The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has spent 35 of the last 60 months in Iraq patrolling in full battle rattle, helping restore essential services and escorting supply convoys.

Now they’re training for the same mission ­ with a twist ­ at home.

Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.

But this new mission marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities.<<
