From January 23, the US Army will begin conducting special exercises of its special forces to practice actions during the so-called "color revolutions". We are talking about simulating the entry of special forces units into a "politically unstable" country to overthrow an "illegitimate government."
According to militarywatchmagazine, the exercises will be held in the state of North Carolina on the east coast of the United States. The military will train to conduct raids and ambushes together with the partisans and citizens of the proposed country. The online publication notes that the nature of these exercises is not completely fictional, because the United States already has experience of such actions: for example, they used their special forces to support insurgents against the government of Iraq in the 1990s and early 2000s.
The most famous example of recent times is the actions of US special forces in Syria, where American forces, together with local militants, contributed to the massive theft of oil for sale abroad, while depriving the Syrian authorities of income. In this region, US special forces faced the fact that the Russian army, on the contrary, actively supported the official government of Syria.
Other examples where US special forces or consultants participated in the "color revolutions" include countries such as Libya, Indonesia, Sudan, and Ukraine. At the same time, the rhetoric of US officials sometimes hints at the alleged illegitimacy of the governments of Iran, Venezuela, Syria, North Korea, Myanmar, Nicaragua and even Russia. It is characteristic that under the administration of Donald Trump, China, including, began to be characterized by such rhetoric. Many experts consider the actions of the US special forces during the "color revolutions" to be one of the tools by which America expands its sphere of influence and achieves its beneficial goals.
Special forces training for joint actions with militants in the United States is known more under the name "Robin Sage exercises". Every year they become more and more open, and one of their goals is to practice the skills of fighting a "numerically superior enemy" using guerrilla tactics.
