A Springfield-based military police company will be training with a new armored vehicle in the area this week.
The Illinois Army National Guard says training with the new Armored Security Vehicles will start Thursday and run through Sunday.
Staff Sgt. Daniel Becker says the vehicles were designed to keep soldiers safe. They have the safety features of other vehicles on the road — like turn signals, brake lights and headlights — but the driver's view is limited by the armor.
A licensed trained driver will be along for the training this week.
The vehicles are large, but only require one traffic lane.
Becker says people shouldn't be afraid when they see the armored vehicles on the road.

So what begins? When I was in the Army we would roll on the road all the time with loaded Guns and armored vehicles. And they are just soldiers, not crazy, just need money and it’s a job. I was in 2000 to 2008

Why do you think they're going to use foreign troops?

Isn't it dangerous to do that in a town with a Nuclear plant? Wonder what Mr Burns is saying about this? They should have chosen Shelbyville.

ummm cos the Americans might realize that what there doing is wrong...

I can hear an Air Force base off in the distance dropping bombs on range. Am I to assume the attack is imminent every time they go at it?

Sounds like Chicken Little,"The sky is falling,the sky is falling". sigh
