Russian Troops on American Soil For Anti Terrorism Training

By Shepard Ambellas

April 26, 2012

Like a scene out of the movie Red Dawn, Russian paratroopers will be training on U.S. soil for the next month or so.

This comes in wake of recent sightings of military equipment, troops, and more.

The drills are to be conducted in Colorado and revolve around terrorist camp raids and martial law type scenarios.

A Business Insider excerpt reads;

   

Russian paratroopers will meet up with American forces next month for an unprecedented military exercise in Colorado, according to RT News.

    It's the first time Russian service members will be invited into the United States for a joint drill.

    A Russian airborne task force will "exercise with U.S. special service weapons," an announcement by Russian Defense Ministry spokesperson Col. Aleksandr Kucherenko revealed.

    The official purpose of the joint training is to practice airborne tactics and anti-terror operations, such as dropping into a hostile area and conducting a "terrorist camp raid."

    "Soldiers of the two countries will hold a tactical airborne operation, including reconnaissance of an imaginary terrorists' camp and a raid," said Kucherenko.

    It's worth noting the Russians will have access to U.S. military weapons training at the Army's Fort Carson — "Home of America's Best" — ahead of the scheduled May 24-31 drills. They'll also be trained to understand and operate hardware used by U.S. forces in airborne missions including "parachuting, operation planning, reconnaissance, assault operations and evacuations by helicopter."

    This announcement comes at a time when Russia actually has troops working in cooperation with China.

An RT excerpt reads;

   

For the first time in history, Russian and American airborne forces will hold joint drills in the US. The anti-terror exercises scheduled for May 2012 will get off to a flying start with a tactical landing operation and "terrorist" camp raid.

    "This is the first time such an event is being held," Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Col. Aleksandr Kucherenko stressed, announcing the plan. "The Russian airborne will contribute a special task group that will exercise with US special service weapons."

    The drills were arranged by the Russian Airborne Command and a US military delegation in Moscow last December.

    Russian soldiers will receive preparatory training in Colorado's Fort Carson with the US weaponry and equipment they are to use during the operation. The drills include parachuting, operation planning, reconnaissance, assault operations and evacuations by helicopter.

Russian Troops Coming to USA for Joint Military Exercise May 2012

"HA! Stupid Americans! As life WAS in RUSSIA, so SHALL it soon be in...AMERICA!"
-Boast of Russian KGB/FSB spies to alarmed Russian Christians in Spokane, Washington, as reported to me.

WARNING!
READ THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE FROM
THE RUSSIAN TIMES BETWEEN THE LINES....
The future "terrorists" that Russian/foreign and NWO-compromised American troops will be going after are THE AMERICAN FREEDOM FIGHTERS UNDER MARTIAL LAW.

Always remember: One man's "TERRORIST" is another man's "FREEDOM FIGHTER". It simply depends on whose side a person is on, and from whose perspective it is being reported on.


The phony "war on terror" is being used to systematically strip Americans of their freedoms. It will be used to falsely label conscientious and Patriotic Americans fighting for their freedoms in the future under martial law as "terrorists."

THEY ARE NOT.

They are America's true HEROES.

THEY ARE AMERICA'S FREEDOM FIGHTERS standing for our Constitutional rights and standing against THE TRUE TERRORISTS,
THE NWO AGENDA COMMUNISTS behind the martial law/globalist agenda who threaten our freedoms and our American heritage.

I have long reported on the presence of foreign troops in America. I have warned the American people that the NWO AGENDA USA will use FOREIGN TROOPS EXTENSIVELY UNDER MARTIAL LAW to do the dirty work many US troops may not want to do to Americans.

I have personally interviewed foreign troops in America and Europe as well. German Bundeswehr  military admitted to me and other Americans that they were in America to do the "dirty work" under MARTIAL LAW that American military would not want  to naturally do to their own people. One American military source in Germany admitted this was all true, and informed me it was called "exchange of services."

Also, the NWO COMMUNISTS know that too many US troops are utterly opposed to this traitorous agenda and WILL NOT CARRY IT OUT under martial law USA. Long before this upcoming training exercise, Russian and Ukrainian military have been flown in and have trained in our bases, including MOUT (mock operation urban terrain) EXERCISES to practice taking cities in mock city settings on US bases.

GERMAN TROOPS have been trained in our bases for coming martial law, and are stationed in numerous bases across America for the time they will be used against Americans under martial law. UN/NATO/Partnership for Peace troops will be used also.

This is the kind of news you will never read about in the press. So read the following article with understanding what this is really all about.

In the future you will often witness foreign military including RUSSIAN AND CHINESE TROOPS breaking down doors, seizing weapons, even operating THE GUILLOTINES ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE UNDER MARTIAL LAW, as well as select elements of our own military. Also, Russian and Chinese troops (among other foreign troops) will be used to combat Americans fighting for liberty under martial law.

CranTara

CranTara, among the ancient Britons was a sort of military signal used for collecting the distant and scattered warriors to the standard of their chief. A prince having immediate occasion for the assistance his followers to repel some sudden invasion or engage in some expedition, besides striking the shield and sounding the horn to give warning to those who were within hearing, he sent the crantara, or a stick burnt at the end and dipped in the blood of a goat by a swift messenger, to the nearest hamlet, where he delivered it without saying one word but the name of the place of rendezvous. This crantara, which was well understood to denounce destruction by fire and sword to all who did not obey this summons, was carried with great rapidity from village to village; and the prince in a little time found himself surrounded by all his warriors ready.

Russian Roulette: Russian Troops To Train on American Soil, Simulate Takeover of Denver International Airport

By Clyde Lewis
theintelhub.com
April 26, 2012

Back in 2005 Ground Zero had reported that there was going to be a change in CIA operations. The CIA announced that they were to transfer all base operations to Denver in 2005, with many speculating their main base of operations had been placed beneath the Denver International Airport.

Recently, in Wired Magazine there was a featured story that reported that NSA base operations were transferred to a remote area in Bluffdale Utah.

Bluffdale is the home of the Utah State Penitentiary, US Army Base Camp Williams, and a so called Internment camp that was used to house refugees from the Katrina Disaster.

The moving of most base operations for the Government to the Western states, especially mountainous regions, has been the basis for a lot of conspiratorial speculation over the years.

There has been a lot of reports about the mysterious Denver airport and how it has been built primarily as a Military stronghold and not just a commercial airport.

The Denver International Airport is interesting because it has one of the longest runways in the country. It also is an airport that not only has an upper level but many lower levels that are not public areas.

This is one of the reasons that the airport has been embroiled in controversy since it opened in 1994. The other reasons are far more mysterious and esoteric, leading many people to believe that it will be a crucial base of operations for the New World Order.

It is interesting to point out that the design of the facility is eerily similar to a Nazi Swastika. There is also a lot of eerie symbolism at the airport including a 32 foot tall Horse that has been nicknamed Blucifer and DIAblo that greets you at the entrance.

It most definitely is a representation of the Pale horse of death and hell spoken of in the book of revelation. The Horse has also been known to change colors because of cloud cover and at times appears to be black. A

t night its eyes are red and are lit. Many people consider the sculpture to be haunted or evil since a piece fell off and killed its creator.



The Illuminati have often been known to demonstrate their agendas through art and literature. It is known as the revelation of the method or cloaked revelation.

This gradual release of revelation seems to be, in many cases, a component of a traumatizing process geared towards desensitizing the witnesses. The horse represents many things to many people;  death, hell, famine, pestilence, even a marker of warning to stay away from the facility because it is a facility meant for war operations.

The airport is adorned with many eerie demonic looking gargoyles across the walls. Many are depicted as lurking in the luggage and many of the creatures seem alien or sinister like gremlins that are watching your every move.

As you walk through the facility there is an area known as the great hall. In that corridor there is a capstone that has an arm that extends forward with a keypad attached.

The key pad is blocked so no one can type in a code. It is supposed to suggest that the people of Colorado in 2094 will use the keypad to open a time capsule buried below.

There will be a message there for them to read. The stone shows the Masonic compass and is dedicated to The World Airport Commission.

There is no such group in existence but there could be by 2094, that is if the plans of a New World order is advanced through force and a militarized army capable of working together to force America into giving up its sovereignty to a model of Government that is being created by the same leaders who have designed Chinese Communism.

Capitalism will be kept on a leash and watched over by world controllers able to order armies to work together under the umbrella of a unified front against and externalized enemy.

The makings of such a unified front are in the works now as it has been reported that Russian and American troops are working together for the first time in history.

On May 21st through the 24th 2012, Russian Troops will parachute drop into the United States and team up with American troops to stage an invasion war game scenario that has both trying to defend themselves from an unnamed enemy hell bent on seizing various CIA, DIA, and NSA operations.

A report issued about the war-game scenario details what is to happen and the operations objectives:

Russian airborne troops will fly to and then parachute from their planes having the objectives of seizing the CIA's main computer facility in Denver, the NSA's main computer facility in Bluffdale, Utah, and taking control of main runways and terminals of the Denver International Airport.

The purpose of seizing the Denver International Airport, this report continues, is for the evacuation of the key personal and equipment previously "freed" from the CIA's Denver base, and the NSA's base in Utah, who were, supposedly, under "imminent threat" from an unspecified enemy, according, that is, to the American scenario for this war game.

Could this be a drill, designed to see how foreign troops would be called in in case of civil disobedience or a revolt?

The United States has been preparing for some major upheaval and new laws and executive orders have been drawn up to have control over property, food and water. All resources will fall under the control of the executive branch of government in case of a crisis.

There has not been an indication as to what the crisis will be, however we are aware of the plans of the United Nations and their push for a New Global Order that will enforce green laws for global sustainability policies.

As we have talked about earlier it seems that this agenda is being pushed by the UN and that the provisions will be mapped out extensively and eventually acted upon during a June 20th, Summit known as the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, "Rio +20."

Many people speculate that the meeting will not only map out the plans for a more sustainable planet with a new government structure, but also discuss ways of culling the planet or removing undesirables that do not want to accept the new global order.

All of this sounds like some fear based paranoia however, there have been many stories and articles stating that Illuminati plans for world destruction and rebuilding can be found in the murals painted at the Denver airport.

As illustrated in a special Ground Zero behind the scenes video ,The Illuminati appear to have detailed their plans for global genocide and a New World Order in two large murals.

The first depicts a huge Nazi soldier with dead women and children scattered around him and the second shows many of the world populations dying.

Everywhere in the mural are races, and religious groups represented by bodies in caskets, one in particular wears a pocket watch that indicates the time of this happening is soon.

Nearby we see when that time might be, the Mayan calendar is seen being held by a young girl, possibly pointing to 2012 as the time of all of this change and upheaval.

Finally the Mural shows that all of the people of the world come together in peace to defeat the masked phantom. They bring with them all of their weapons and implements of death to one young man. T

hat young man will eventually lead everyone to peace through a world government. One world, one destiny, and one order.

As Alice Bailey wrote in her "Destiny of Nations" The world is one world, and its sufferings are one; humanity is in truth a unity, but many are still unaware of this, and the whole trend of the present teaching is directed to the awakening of humanity to this, while there is yet time to avert still more serious conditions.

The sins of humanity are also one. Its goal is one, and it is as one great human family that we must emerge into the future. I would emphasize this thought: It is as one humanity, chastened, disciplined but illumined and fused, that we must emerge into the future.

Those who do not grasp this important fact, whether they are called belligerents or neutrals, will suffer deeply as a result of their non-participation in the fate of the whole....The Hierarchy is not neutral.

On one of the highest hilltops in Elbert County, Georgia stands a huge granite monument. Engraved in eight different languages on the four giant stones that support the common capstone are 10 Guides or commandments.

That monument is alternately referred to as The Georgia Guide stones, or the American Stonehenge. Though relatively unknown to most people, it is an important link to the Occult Hierarchy that dominates the world in which we live.

The occult hierarchy of the Illuminati has stated on the Goldstones their recommendations for a safe and secure world.

1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
2. Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity.
3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
4. Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered reason.
5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
9. Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the infinite.
10. Be not a cancer on the earth – Leave room for nature – Leave room for nature.

We now can see what the future is about. It is about dramatically reducing the population of the world, promoting environmentalism, establishing a world government, and promoting a new sense of spirituality.

In a strange development, the radio show of Shepard Ambelas featured prominently only yesterday has disappeared entirely and without explanation:

http://theintelhub.com/2012/04/26/shepa ... -soil-now/

Not only that, but the Intel Hub site has eliminated the drop-down tab titled "Radio Show" which was on the home page yesterday, again without comment.

The one person who does appear capable of comment, but only on the mysterious DIA, is this guy, Clyde Lewis, but for some reason we find an old and a new version of the same day:

Russia, U.S. to Hold Joint Anti-Terror Drills
16:09 19/04/2012
MOSCOW, April 19 (RIA Novosti)

A detachment from the Russian Airborne Assault Forces will go to the United States in May for a joint anti-terror exercise, Defense Ministry spokesman Col. Alexander Kucherenko said on Thursday.

The exercise will take place between May 24 and 31 at Fort Carson, Colo.

"This is the first time such an exercise is being held," he said. "The AAF will contribute a special task group that will exercise with U.S. special service weapons."

The Russian group will arrive a week before the start of the drills, he added.

[Michael K.]

Well, we finally have something to go on other than Sorcha Fall, and not amazingly the US government denies that the exercises have anything to do with Denver International Airport.  

http://theintelhub.com/2012/04/27/depar ... nside-u-s/

In an email to the New American, Cmdr. Wendy L. Snyder, U.S. Defense Press Officer for policy confirmed the reports:

   

"The Russian soldiers are here as invited guests of the U.S. government; this is part of a formal bilateral exchange program between the U.S. and Russia that seeks to develop transparency and promote defense reform," Cmdr. Wendy L. Snyder, U.S. Defense Press Officer for policy, told The New American in an e-mail. "This is the first time that American and Russian special operations troops have participated in a bilateral exercise."

According to Snyder, the exercises — which she said would last about three weeks in all — will serve to train and improve skills related to terror-war fighting. About 20 Russian soldiers will be participating, with most of the training to take place on the Fort Carson, Colorado, Army base and a mountain training area several hours away.

   

"Aside from typical military training, the exchange will include discussions on the rule of land warfare, developing appropriate rules of engagement, and employing cultural literacy and competency in the tactical environment," Snyder explained. "This type of training is routinely conducted by 10th Special Forces Group."

The drills, which will take place throughout May, mark the first time that Russian and US troops will train along side each other on American soil and correlate with a long line of Foreign military's training to take on the American people.

In addition, it is interesting how the author at the source of the rumor made a very specific set of claims identical to those of Sorcha Fall, particularly regarding the airport.  I took this to mean that he had done some research other than reading Sorcha Fall, and although not able to directly cite his sources, he was willing to risk whatever credibility he has to participate in the same story, knowing that he would certainly be revealed as a fool for trusting Sorcha Fall...but you never quite know what games people are playing.

Then there is the credibility of the Intel Hub for running Clyde Lewis as a source and making an editorial statement that the source was NOT Sorcha Fall, but somebody he trusted in his hometown in Oregon.  I have never seen the Intel Hub run a Sorcha Fall story as credible, and I am beginning to doubt that I will ever trust them again, but since the Intel Hub put such stake on this one man's word I see the problem.  Too bad.

Only time will tell, but I sense an intentional flap, and behind the flap I sense both the FSB for running the story as an experiment in political data gathering, and the CIA or whoever the hell David Booth, aka Sorcha Fall works for.  This sort of thing is bound to happen now even more frequently.  Part of it is of course to desensitize the public to the presence of Russian troops, or German troops (have first hand witness of these ones!!!) or whatever we end up seeing on the big "October Surprise" (or May or June or December).

I hate being diddled by listening to fools.  Listen to Clyde Lewis here, in the fine print:

Epiphany: Russian Roulette!

As I was digesting, I had a stark insight into what all of this is really about:

The source of the flap was not really Sorcha Fall, because that is not what took in the Intel Hub writers; it was the word of Clyde Lewis, a person who seems to have better judgment than to cite Sorcha Fall, or else why would this Shepard Ambellas go out on a limb like he did?

It don't add up:  why would this Lewis guy inflict a wound on himself and his friend Ambellas, knowing full well that he could COUNT ON being exposed as a fool and a fraud?

It didn't make sense until I though about two things I had seen with Clyde Lewis, the first being his cryptic choice of the words "Russian Roulette."  Once I realized that this was a symbolic communication about something else, I started paying attention again:  Lewis is saying in bold letters that he knows that he is "playing Russian Roulette" with himself by fooling his friend Ambellas into an embarrassment and maybe fatally wounding his own credibility as a 'talking head'.

It is most logical to deduce this meaning given the set up that this guy was seasoned and must have known better, it is the most logical conclusion, but the missing element is still motive.  Was this guy just an asshole?  Did he want to hurt the Intel Hub? None of those things seem likely, given the warmth between Ambellas and himself as expressed by Ambellas' trust against the obvious odds in Lewis' story.

What is needed is another clue, and this is what seems likely to be the real answer:

[youtube:2qvccnbx]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc-CLjgtjzA[/youtube]2qvccnbx]

What we have here is a SCOOP, the top story on Clyde Lewis' webpage, a story a full six days older than the "Russian Roulette" post.
What is being revealed here is actual, stone cold video footage that shows us that a full-scale coup has taken place in China, something that is not being reported in any mainstream or even alternative news outlet.  This is the real story behind "Russian Roulette."

The meaning is clear to me.  Lewis did this stunt because:

1.) Somebody got to him with threats and he needed to fall on his sword to avoid the repercussions of breaking the "code of silence." and/or

2.) He was trying to bring viewers to his page so that many would know what has happened, and/or

3.) He felt the need to bring public scrutiny onto himself so that it would be more risky to kill him.

There you have it folks, mystery solved, and it's all in the words "Russian Roulette" and in the above video smuggled out of China against penalty of death.

UPDATE:  OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM FT CARSON

Lieutenant Colonel Steve Osterholzer
Public Affairs Officer, U.S. Army

"Military training between U.S. and Russian forces will in occur in May as part of a Bilateral Program signed into agreement (May '11) between the Department of Defense's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and his Russian counterpart, agreeing for forces to conduct joint counterterrorism exercises/ training.   For many years the U.S. has routinely conducted joint training with foreign forces in order to strengthen relationships, enhance familiarization with tactics and procedures, and to exchange best practices.  In May a handful of Russian soldiers (20) will conduct joint training with a roughly-equivalent sized element of U.S. forces on Ft. Carson and a day of mountaineer familiarization in the mountains to the West of Ft. Carson.  The training will consist of tasks common to both units; marksmanship, parachute jumps, communications, medical evacuations, etc.  The Russian soldiers will be escorted 24/7 by U.S. military officers and all of the training/discussions will be unclassified.  The end result of this program is an improved understanding of how the other foreign military works, thus enhancing the operational effectiveness of Allied forces."

The Colonel was a courteous man, he spoke with me at length especially trying to refute the Denver Airport/Sorcha Fall angle, and placing in perspective the mission by describing the above details.  I will believe his story until anyone can prove otherwise.


Only the tip of the iceberg

The bigger implications of the story are to be found in the newly released bulletin on the subject by the US government; the underlying legal authority for this cooperation comes from the executive alone, without the apparent involvement of Congress or the Judiciary in the decision to change US policy with regards to strategic cooperation with "Russia".

U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission: Spring 2012 Joint Report

http://www.state.gov/p/eur/ci/rs/usruss ... 186831.htm

...Counterterrorism Working Group

The Counterterrorism Working Group is both a continuation and institutionalization of an important U.S.-Russia dialogue begun in the aftermath of the September 11, 2011 terrorist attacks against the United States. The Working Group serves as a platform for our counterterrorism leaders to discuss current threats, strengthen and deepen our cooperation on relevant law enforcement matters, work in the multilateral arena to strengthen international counterterrorism norms and increase capacity building, discuss important transportation security issues, engage in ways to counter violent extremism, and bolster information-sharing. Daniel Benjamin, Coordinator for Counterterrorism in the U.S. Department of State, and Aleksandr Zmeyevskiy, Russian Special Presidential Representative for International Cooperation in the Fight against Terrorism, co-chair these Commission efforts.

As one part of our multi-track cooperation, the Working Group has completed operational-level activities such as counter-IED (improvised explosive device) training in the United States as well as Transportation Security Administration (TSA) observations of heavily-traveled Russian airports. In May 2011, TSA and the Russian Ministry of Transport signed a memorandum of understanding on information exchanges and sharing best practices to further cooperation in the sphere of civil aviation security. Under this memorandum, a high-level delegation from Russia's Ministry of Transport visited a major U.S. airport.

In May 2011, our two countries' Presidents reaffirmed a common assessment of the threat to global security posed by al-Qa'ida and made a commitment to close cooperation to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat this terrorist organization. Earlier that same month, our countries' top military leaders signed a memorandum of understanding to enhance U.S.-Russia cooperation in the realm of counterterrorism; our respective armed forces have executed complementary bilateral exercises through the Commission's Military Cooperation Working Group.

Also in May 2011, Russia welcomed Secretary Clinton's decision to designate the Caucasus Emirate and its leader as Specially Designated Global Terrorists—thus helping stem the flow of financial and other assistance to the group—and include its head Doku Umarov in the U.S. "Rewards for Justice" program. With U.S. co-sponsorship, Umarov was added to the United Nations 1267 al-Qa'ida Sanctions Committee Consolidated List. Continuing in the realm of multilateral cooperation, the United States and Russia collaborated closely in the launch of the Global Counterterrorism Forum at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2011. Foreign Minister Lavrov joined Secretary Clinton for the launch of this new Forum, which was the realization of an idea that arose in one of their conversations on the margins of the G-8 Foreign Ministers' meeting in March 2010. Our two countries are now working closely to ensure the Forum lives up to is "action-oriented" mission. We are also working together in other counterterrorism-related fora such as the APEC Counterterrorism Task Force, in which the United States and Russia serve as the respective 2011-2012 vice-chair and chair.

A practical result of U.S.-Russian cooperation was UN Security Council Resolution 2017 on the problems of the proliferation of Libyan weapons, which was unanimously adopted on October 31, 2011.

Counterterrorism Working Group Chairmen Ambassadors Benjamin and Zmeyevskiy held an introductory meeting in New York on February 22, 2012. The two sides touched upon important aspects of U.S.-Russian counterterrorism relationship, and discussed the work of the bilateral Counterterrorism Working Group, including the dates for the group's next meeting in Moscow this year. The Russian delegation shared a draft document for expanded cooperation on tourism security from terrorism and criminal threats, and the delegations discussed ways to build on their record of cooperation in this area. The delegations also discussed the U.S.-Russia initiative within the OSCE on Public-Private Partnerships for the security of tourist infrastructure against terrorist attacks, an initiative which has been promoted since 2010.

The United States and Russia are pleased with the cooperation we have established to date in the area of counterterrorism; we recognize that we must remain cognizant, however, of the need to deepen further means to promote international security, counter violent extremism, repel terrorist threats, protect the lives and rights of citizens, and bring terrorists to justice. We look forwarding to strengthening our cooperation through bilateral and multilateral means.

Defense Relations Working Group

The Defense Relations Working Group was established by the U.S. Secretary of Defense and Russian Minister of Defense in September 2010 to implement the decisions of the Presidents of the United States and Russia and establish a new level of relations between these two defense agencies. Creating the group has facilitated open and timely discussions of emerging problems and the development of cooperation on various issues of mutual interest.

The Working Group, led by the Secretary of Defense and Minister of Defense, met in Moscow in March 2011. Eight specialized expert sub-working groups, headed by senior leaders from each side, have been formed for practical work. Expert meetings are conducted on a regular basis, at least once per year. The frequency of the meetings is determined by the mutual interest of the two sides. There have been a total of 18 meetings of the eight sub-working groups since December 2010. The first focus area of sub-working group activity is to gain a better understanding of each nation's approach to military modernization and reform efforts. Another goal of sub-working group activity is to encourage open discussion concerning our respective defense strategies and policy priorities with respect to the national security of the United States and Russia. The second focus area includes the objective exchange of best practices in the field of military logistics, social issues, training and education, and military and civilian personnel management. The third area of interest seeks cooperation in the sphere of defense technology and maritime matters, and includes a sub-working group focused on discussing global and regional security issues. In light of the results of the NATO-Russia Council Summit meeting at Lisbon, U.S. and Russian officials have discussed their plans, concerns, intentions, threat assessments, and capabilities in the area of European missile defense.

Several sub-working group meetings have incorporated site visits to U.S. and Russian defense establishments, providing the opportunity for both sides to observe the day-to-day missions of each other's defense organizations and interact with subject matter experts in their respective areas of interest. In addition, site visits to U.S. and Russian military training organizations were conducted, where both sides shared their respective approaches to training and educating military personnel. The Department of Defense hosted a visit by Russian experts to the U.S. Defense Finance and Accounting Service Center in Indiana to discuss and observe practices in military financial management, as well as a visit to the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency Distribution Center in Pennsylvania to observe the U.S. model for military logistical support.

The Defense Relations Working Group provides an unprecedented opportunity to conduct open discussion and share information on a broad range of issues and strengthen defense and military cooperation. Receiving senior-level support, the sub-working groups have made significant progress towards increased mutual understanding between military establishments and facilitated positive dialogue at multiple levels. Such cooperation also allows for a frank discussion of the problems that arise between the United States and Russia.

Looking ahead, both the U.S. and Russian sides are finalizing the schedule for sub-working group meetings in 2012, including a possible Working Group session between the U.S. Secretary of Defense and Russian Minister of Defense...

...Intelligence Cooperation Working Group

The Commission's Working Group on Intelligence Cooperation was created in March 2010 during the visit of then-Director Leon Panetta of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to Moscow to meet Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Director Mikhail Fradkov. Both Secretary Clinton and Foreign Minister Lavrov hailed the new Working Group subsequently as a means "to strengthen our common security." Then, now, and going forward, our two countries' premier intelligence agencies will continue to cooperate on a bilateral basis in areas of mutual concern and security.

Military Cooperation Working Group

The Bilateral Presidential Commission's Military Cooperation Working Group was established in 2009 to determine mutually beneficial areas of cooperation, to coordinate implementation of joint projects to strengthen strategic stability and international security and develop military contacts, to discuss matters of mutual security, and to monitor implementation of current cooperative projects and joint activities. This Working Group meets on an annual basis and is co-chaired by General Martin E. Dempsey, U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), and General Nikolay Makarov, Russian Chief of the General Staff. General Makarov was on hand in September 2011 to honor the outgoing CJCS, Admiral Michael Mullen, on the occasion of his retirement. The General's visit highlighted both the significant progress that has been made in the area of U.S.-Russia military cooperation as well as our mutual desire to continue this work.

The second annual plenary session in Saint Petersburg, Russia in May 2011 culminated in a new Memorandum of Understanding on Counterterrorism Cooperation between the U.S. Department of Defense and the Russian Ministry of Defense. This memorandum is being fully operationalized through bilateral discussions in the Combating Terrorism sub-working group and through the Military Cooperation Work Plan. The bilateral exercise "Crimson Rider" in August 2011 simulated nuclear warhead ground transport. In addition, the Air Force Global Strike Command and 20th Air Force, with support from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, hosted a static display at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base demonstrating transport and security equipment used by U.S. security forces. Russian presentations highlighted similar practices by Russian military forces. Also in August 2011, in conjunction with the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) the second annual "Vigilant Eagle" exercise took place, which focused on joint actions during a terrorist hijacking of an aircraft over the Bering Sea and explored possibilities for cooperation between the United States and Russia. In October 2011, the U.S. and Russian Navies successfully completed the "Pacific Eagle" exercise with the goal to improve maritime relations between our two countries and enhance interoperability, particularly in the area of anti-terrorism and counter-piracy operations.

Throughout 2011, the United States and Russia completed a total of 51 Work Plan and non-Work Plan events, exercises, and exchanges. Among them were the Joint Staff Talks that took place on November 12-16, 2011. The talks focused on the military-political situation in crisis regions (North Africa, Middle East, Afghanistan, and Asia-Pacific), and the current conditions and future development of bilateral military cooperation. The Russian side briefed U.S. participants on the strategic exercise "TSENTR-2011." The U.S.-side also hosted the Russians at the U.S. Army's Maneuver Warfare Center of Excellence at Fort Benning, Georgia.

Meetings on other important issues were also conducted within the framework of the Working Group. Military expert consultations on improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were held in February 2011. During this event, the sides exchanged information for countering IEDs and shared experience on searching for and disarming IEDs.

For 2012 planning, U.S. and Russian experts met in November 2011 to finalize the next Military Cooperation Work Plan, which details over 100 events such as port visits, education exchanges, and bilateral exercises. On January 18, 2012, in Brussels, on the sidelines of the NATO-Russia Council meeting of the Chiefs and Heads of Defense, a working meeting took place between the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Chairman of the General Staff of the Russian Federation Armed Forces. During this meeting, the Working Group's activities in 2011 were reviewed and plans were made for its future development. The next plenary session of the Working Group is tentatively scheduled for the summer of 2012 in Washington D.C., and the next Joint Staff Talks are provisionally scheduled for September 2012 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Today our armed forces are cooperating in a variety of meaningful ways that would have been unimaginable earlier.

Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Security Working Group

The Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Security Working Group was established to advance our Presidents' July 6, 2009 Joint Statement on Nuclear Cooperation. The two co-chairs, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Energy Daniel Poneman and Director General of the Rosatom State Corporation Sergey Kiriyenko, conducted the first meeting of the Working Group in September 2009.

2011 was a banner year for the Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Security Working Group. In January 2011, the Agreement for Cooperation in the Field of Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy (also known as the "123 Agreement") entered into force. In furtherance of the 123 Agreement, U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu and General Director Kiriyenko signed two joint statements in 2011. The first was issued in June on the margins of the AtomExpo 2011 international forum and reaffirmed a joint understanding of the importance of mutually advantageous cooperation between nuclear research laboratories, institutes, and facilities following the entry into force of the 123 Agreement. The second, a Joint Statement on Strategic Directions of Nuclear Cooperation signed in Vienna in September 2011, focused on innovative areas of joint cooperation, covering new types of reactors and nuclear and radiation safety. This was the first time that areas such as scientific-technical and commercial cooperation, as well as joint efforts to strengthen global nuclear security, have been recorded.

In July 2011, the U.S.-Russian Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement (PMDA) and its 2006 and 2010 Protocols entered into force, reaffirming our commitment to each dispose of 34 metric tons of surplus weapon-grade plutonium—or enough combined material for over 17,000 nuclear weapons.

In December 2011, the co-chairs conducted a Working Group meeting by video-teleconference, during which they reflected on the previous year's accomplishments and determined priorities for 2012. This marked the completion of the Third Action Plan, which determined the major goals for 2011. The 13 sub-working groups, created within the framework of the Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Security Working Group, interact continuously.

In September 2011, the Federal Customs Service of Russia and the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA), within the framework of the intergovernmental Agreement on Cooperation in the Area of Nuclear Material Physical Protection, Control and Accounting, completed their joint work on equipping 383 Russian border crossing points with radiation detection systems designed to detect and deter illicit trafficking of nuclear and other radioactive materials. In October, NNSA and Rosatom co-hosted a training course for export control licensing officials representing former Soviet Union countries. Nuclear material physical protection equipment was installed at the Mining and Chemical Combine, and the joint project to shut down reactors producing weapons-grade plutonium and start up the Zheleznogorsk thermal heating system as a substitute was completed successfully.

All the while, joint work continued on U.S.-origin and Russian-origin fuel returns from third countries. Shipments completed to date include U.S.-origin material from Turkey, Taiwan, Japan, Israel, and the Republic of South Africa, and Russian-origin material from Bulgaria, Latvia, Romania, Libya, Serbia and Ukraine. Two U.S.-Russian seminars were organized to exchange experiences on design, exploitation and support for security of fast-neutron research reactors and on waste management in the United States and Russia.

Looking ahead, the Fourth Action Plan under development outlines specific action for the Working Group in 2012. Of particular note, multiple fuel returns from third countries are taking place, including shipments of U.S.-origin HEU from Mexico as well as shipments of Russian-origin HEU from Uzbekistan and Poland. Work will continue to electronically integrate radiation detection systems at crossing points with customs houses, directorates, and Russian Federal Customs Service Headquarters. Bilateral Civil Nuclear Energy technical cooperation will include increased focus on nuclear safety and personnel training and education; experts will determine specific activities at the next Civil Nuclear Energy sub-working group experts meeting in Obninsk, Russia, in April 2012.

The two sides continue a discussion of scientific-technical cooperation and interaction in the area of innovative technologies, including the Multi-Purpose Fast Research Reactor, modeling and simulation, safeguards by design, new structural and clad materials development, and Global Civil Nuclear Energy Framework development. In order to accelerate this work, the two countries are negotiating an intergovernmental R&D Agreement on cooperation in the area of scientific research and design, which should also include interaction in innovative technologies.

The two sides will seek broader engagement on the development, testing, and implementation of IAEA safeguards, specifically on the strengthening of State Systems of Accounting and Control in third countries. Both parties will also jointly consider a framework of international cooperation in civil nuclear energy and advance new concepts for comprehensive fuel services. Following a co-hosted workshop in Moscow in April 2012 "The Global Structure of Nuclear Energy and the Development of Services for the Nuclear Fuel Cycle," the 13th sub-working group plans to develop a work plan by May 2012. The overall multilateral and bilateral collaboration on nuclear energy and nuclear security will continue in all areas.

Rule of Law Working Group

In May 2011 in Deauville, France, the Presidents of the United States and Russia announced the establishment of the Bilateral Commission's Rule of Law Working Group to promote enhanced bilateral cooperation on legal issues between the U.S. Department of Justice and Russian Ministry of Justice. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Russian Minister of Justice Alexander Konovalov co-chair the Working Group, whose areas for discussion include judicial assistance in civil and criminal matters, corrections, probation, alternatives to detention, and asset recovery.

The Working Group had its first event a few months later, when several officials from the Russian Ministry of Justice participated in a week-long study tour focused on probation in Washington, D.C. Their visit reflected the Russian government's ongoing efforts in the area of criminal law reform. The delegation met U.S. officials to discuss prisoner reintegration, drug treatment programs, and job skills training programs. The delegation visited a drug rehabilitation center, a half-way house, and observed sentencing and detention hearings in a federal district court.

On February 9, 2012, the Rule of Law Working Group met in Washington, D.C. for its inaugural plenary session, co-chaired by Minister Konovalovand Attorney General Holder.  Experts from the Departments of Justice and State and from the Russian Ministries of Justice and Foreign Affairs, the General Prosecutor's Office, the Investigative Committee of Russia, and the Federal Service for Execution of Punishments of Russia discussed several topics of interest to both countries, including cooperation between Russia and the United States under the Hague Convention of 1965 on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters, bilateral interaction in searching for and seizure of property abroad that was obtained by illicit means, and exchange of experience and cooperation in the field of probation.

Examination of the agenda items demonstrated mutual interest in resolving key problems of bilateral legal cooperation between Russia and the United States. Productive discussions were held on possible legal and technical mechanisms to resolve existing issues concerning service of process under the Hague Service Convention. In regard to the exchange of practical experience, matters relating to probation, implementation of prisoner reintegration programs, and the use of the latest technologies for monitoring defendants were of particular interest. With respect to identification and recovery of criminal proceeds abroad, there was mutual interest in standardizing regulation of matters relating to the sending and execution of requests for seizure and confiscation of property obtained by illicit means, well as the return of proceeds from this activity.

A meeting is scheduled between the co-chairs of the Working Group on the margins of the May St. Petersburg International Legal Forum. We look forward to further exchanges of best practices and expert-level discussions regarding justice sector issues of mutual concern...

...The Health Working Group will continue other bilateral activities, such as exchanges, courses, research collaborations through NIH intramural visitors programs, and other expert level delegation visits. In addition to continued collaboration on global polio eradication, both parties are exploring worldwide cooperation on combating malaria. In the context of global health cooperation in international organizations, the Russia and the United States worked actively on the development of the draft resolution of the World Health Organization (WHO) "Smallpox Eradication: Destruction of the Variola Virus Stocks," discussed at the 64th session of the World Health Assembly in May 2011. Following the announcement of the NIH-RFBR grant competition, funds for 15 joint projects on HIV/AIDS prevention science will be awarded in mid-2012. In addition, a protocol of intent between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Rospotrebnadzor is close to being finalized, which will deepen cooperation to detect and impede the spread of diseases. The Department of Health and Human Services and the Ministry of Health and Social Development anticipate working together on tobacco control as well. New initiatives may include a mobile text-messaging program QuitNowText that supports smoking cessation. In addition, the United States and Russia will both promote the recently-started Global Smoke-Free Workplace Challenge and focus on at-risk groups. Through the Working Group and greater interaction with civil society and non-governmental partners, we will continue to promote the health and well-being of our two countries...
