Beginning on the 10th of September and going on through September 23rd, Linxx Global Solutions, Inc., a government services provider based out of Virginia Beach, Virginia, will be holding 'realistic scenario training' for the Department of Defense and is looking for private contractors....otherwise known as 'role-players'.
These 'role players', we learn through the Linxx Global facebook page seen in screenshot below, will be acting as terrorists, bad guys and hostages. Requirements include 'wearing assigned wardrobe and safety equipment while responding according based on the scenario' and 'operate various small arms with blank- and paint-marking cartridges' among other responsibilities. Much more below including several videos and a SQAlert from a Law Enforcement officer who shares what we consider to be a very important warning as well as another look at the East coast of the US suddenly receiving HUGE amounts of attention.
Due to military activities, the TCAS and ADS-B surveillance may be unreliable in the airspace over Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, and extending approximately 200 nautical miles offshore, from 1 a.m. EDT (0500z) Sept. 2 until midnight EDT (0459z) on Oct. 1.
Pilots are advised that the traffic alert and TCAS may fail to establish tracks on nearby aircraft and may fail to receive traffic alerts (TA) or resolution advisories (RA). Operators should be aware that tracks may first appear within close proximity to their aircraft, and may immediately go into TA/RA status.
Pilots are advised to maintain an increased visual awareness in this area. If operators believe that an aircraft should have triggered an alert, the incident should be reported to air traffic control as soon as possible.
This is due to a late notice Department of Defense exercise, and NBAA has voiced its concern to the FAA that these sort of significant impact tests need much more notice to operators in the NAS.

It happens every year just about. You just don't usually hear about it. This year there's a new Aerostat radar over DC that needs testing so they're expanding to add that in to make sure it works as advertised.

There was already a thread about it so yours was closed.

I ask this not as any sort of rhetorical or passive aggressive gesture, but a sincere question because I honestly do not know the answer one way or another.
I frequently see speculation that such drills will "go live" and be used in the vein of a false flag or what have you. I'm aware of speculation along these lines concerning the drills that were taking place during or near the 9/11/01 attacks, and I'm aware of speculation of "paid actors" being used in relation to certain shootings such as Sandy Hook (though I find the latter much more dubious and, at least by my standards, sufficiently debunked or at least rendered highly improbable.)
What I'd like to know is... has there ever been an example of this actually happening in all the other drills people had their eyes on for suspicious coincidences? Basically, I'd like to be brought up to speed on the history - well founded or not - of such claims. Can anyone offer a list of topics or news reports which focused on a specific drill, during which something real actually did occur that seemed odd?
Again, I ask this not to slight anyone's beliefs or positions, but merely because I myself am not up to speed on this and am therefore skeptical for the moment, and seeking info. Thanks!
Peace.

Bad crew coordination. More often than not that plays a major role in any accident. In many it's been the direct cause.
