A team of volunteer civilians is organizing to monitor next week’s controversial “Operation Jade Helm 15” Pentagon training exercise, a new report says.
The grassroots “Counter Jade Helm” movement is keeping tabs on the major military drill across seven states, according to The Houston Chronicle.
The national initiative is organized by former Marine Pete Lanteri, 44, a New Yorker currently living in Arizona — a state hosting part of Operation Jade Helm when it launches on July 15.
The Phoenix resident founded the Counter Jade Helm Facebook page, currently boasting 6,000 members.
Lanteri also manages the group’s website and forum, which will host field reports on the military exercises from its volunteers.
“We’re going to be watching what they do in public,” he said.
“Obviously on a military base they can do whatever they want,” Lanteri added. “But if they’re going to trade on public land, we have a right as American citizens to watch what they’re doing.”
Lanteri noted his organization currently has about 200 people, with the largest unit in Arizona.
It is composed of former military and law enforcement personnel, along with regular concerned citizens.

Do you know what's more important than paying attention to state or federal legislation?
Conspiracy theories. Yep.
