Editor's Note: There have been attempts by interested parties to say the US Army personnel were not involved in the assault. This is false. There were multiple eye witnesses from which we have documented testimony. In addition, here is a slow motion segment of the end of the video, where you can see the US Army fatigues approach Senator Moore at the 16 second point, right before the phone is knocked out of his hand.
In addition, you can view Senator Moore's testimony in the video below where he verifies it was the US Army soldier who knocked the phone out of his hand.
In January of this year, GA State Senator Colton Moore surprised an illegal immigrant trafficking operation being run at night through Hartsfield International Airport. Upon finding the room where the migrants were being processed, Moore was assaulted by two U.S. Army soldiers, who physically accosted him and knocked the phone out of his hand. The entire video clip can be viewed below.
Moore's colleagues later told The Georgia Record, the guards proceeded to scream, and curse at them and chase Moore's group out of the airport concealed area.
The Georgia Record requested help from Montana's Restore Liberty (hat tip) to identify the unit from the patch on the soldier's arm recovered from the video of that night's incident. The unit has been finally identified as the 194th Armored Brigade at Fort Moore, GA, outside Columbus.
One of the African migrants involved reportedly had a nervous breakdown at the scene and was quoted as screaming over and over again he 'had to get to Chatsworth, Georgia'.
Many questions arise out of this information:
The 194th Armored Brigade is a separate brigade of the US Army. All armor, cavalry, and armor and cavalry mechanic soldiers, and Marines in equivalent specialties, are trained by the 194th under the armor component of the Maneuver Center of Excellence at Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning), Georgia, where the 194th has been garrisoned since 2012, writes Wikipedia.
Both squadrons of the 194th Armored Brigade, are charged with the mission of training the U.S. Army's enlisted Cavalry Scouts.
The 194th Armored Brigade was reactivated at Fort Benning, now Fort Moore, Georgia where it serves as One Station Unit Training. It consists of:
30th Adjutant General Battalion (reception)
Headquarters and Headquarters Company (HHC)
2nd Squadron, 15th Cavalry Regiment
1st Battalion, 81st Armor
5th Squadron, 15th Cavalry Regiment
The 194th Armored Brigade is commanded by Col. Gregory W. McLean.
The Georgia Record contacted the public affairs office of the Fort Moore unit twice, and received no response.
