"The
Klan had a special arrangement with the 20th SFG. The 20th
SFG actually trained klansmen in the use of firearms and other military skills at a secret camp near Cullman,
Alabama, in return for intelligence on local black
leaders. The earliest of such training exercises began
on November 12, 1966. Some members of the 20th SFG
also used these sessions for illegal weapons sales. The U.S. Strike Command (CINCSTRIKE) was the overall coordinating command (which could call upon all military forces on U.S. soil) for the purpose of responding to urban riots in 1967-1968. At that time it included liaison
officers from the CIA, FBI, and other nonmilitary
state and federal agencies. It was headquartered at MacDill air force base in Tampa, Florida, and the ACSI and
USAINTC commanders were primary leaders in developing
CINCSTRIKE strategy for the mobilization of forces as
required for defensive action inside CONUS."
