“Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A ‘Vision’ of the Future.” It was written by retired
Army Col. Kevin Benson of the
Army's University of
Foreign Military and Cultural Studies at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and
Jennifer Weber,
a Civil War expert at the University of Kansas. It posits an “extremist
militia motivated by the goals of the ‘tea party’ movement” seizing
control of Darlington, S.C., in 2016, “occupying
City Hall,
disbanding the city council and placing the mayor under house arrest.”
The rebels set up checkpoints on Interstate 95 and Interstate 20 looking
for illegal aliens. It’s a cartoonish and needlessly provocative
scenario.
