00:08Welcome to a special edition of the Myers Report.
00:11It is Tuesday morning, March 24, 2026.
00:17President Trump has announced that there are positive talks with Iran
00:21that have produced a five-day pause in U.S. attacks on Iran,
00:25which Iran is denying and calling a PSYOP.
00:28Our own people are getting reports that the U.S. is sending troops to Iran
00:33to secure nuclear material, which would be an absolute necessity
00:38for any real peace deal with Iran to work.
00:42This morning we are going to discuss which units are moving,
00:45why these units, and what their mission or missions may be.
00:50This morning we're going to do a fast 10-minute update
00:54with a longer edition following later tonight,
00:57and the links will be sent out shortly.
00:59With us today we have Rob Brownsword.
01:03He's one of our military advisors.
01:06He is a veteran combat officer and military contractor
01:11with expeditionary operations.
01:14He's a manager.
01:16He is a retired captain.
01:18He's a specialist in PSYOPs, asymmetrical warfare, counterinsurgency,
01:22and he has been deployed to the Middle East, the Far East, and Africa.
01:27He's just a phenomenal guy.
01:29We also have with us Linda Sinkiewicz.
01:31Linda is an East Coast-based podcaster
01:35who speaks on the well-being of the United States,
01:39both literally and figuratively.
01:42Rob, NBC, Bloomberg, and now some others are reporting that the bombing is continuing.
01:53Does this mean anything in the context of reports of troop movements?
02:00Well, you know, it's hard to tell who's reporting the most accurate facts,
02:07but it's possible that the president had put out the orders
02:16to continue attacking targets of one nature,
02:21yet not attack targets of another nature during the discussion.
02:28So it's possible that Karg Island and other oil infrastructure
02:33are temporarily off the list or there's a pause there,
02:37but continuing to hunt down ballistic missiles,
02:43ballistic missile launchers, transport equipment,
02:48and drone stockpiles, that's a full-on.
02:51There would be no reason to stop that, right?
02:54So both can be true.
02:56There is a pause in wrecking oil infrastructure,
03:01but it's game on in the elimination of offensive weaponry.
03:07Well, and even so, even if there was a pause,
03:11we still have a plan that eventually would have to occur
03:14should there be any peace settlement.
03:19Yeah.
03:21Linda?
03:22So which units are reported to be on the move right now for the United States?
03:29Well, we've seen in the media that the 82nd Airborne Division,
03:33or at least a ready brigade,
03:36that is always ready to go at any moment.
03:40They're fully qualified.
03:42Their bags are packed.
03:43Their vehicles are staged, ready to load on aircraft.
03:46And they can be anywhere in the world in 24 hours or so.
03:52Not the entire division, but a brigade.
03:56How large is a brigade, Rob?
03:59Well, not prepared for that question.
04:02It depends on the type of brigade it is, right?
04:06So an infantry brigade will be larger than a support brigade.
04:11So anyway, we're talking about a couple thousand folks.
04:16And what might their missions be?
04:19Well, you know, I was a paratrooper, but I haven't served in the 82nd.
04:24But any airborne forces are going to be used to secure a lodgment,
04:31go deep into enemy terrain, and hopefully not under fire,
04:35but secure an airfield.
04:39You can secure a seaport, although the Marines tend to do that.
04:43And once your paratroopers are on the ground and you control the terrain,
04:46you control the airstrip and all the equipment there,
04:50maybe even the landing lights,
04:51and you push your guys out further and further establishing a perimeter
04:55for security, then you start using aircrafts to air land follow-on troops,
05:00which is much, much larger.
05:02And that's how you build up your combat power.
05:05So you're going to use your paratroopers to do that.
05:08That's what the 82nd Airborne Division is.
05:11And you can also use them to cause disruption, secure a flank,
05:17and there's all kinds of missions that the 82nd can do.
05:19But that's one thing that they're famous for,
05:25crossing the world on short notice and jumping in your backyard
05:29while you're sleeping kind of stuff.
05:31Would these be the first guys in to secure areas
05:35if we were going to take control and remove nuclear material from Iran?
05:42They could be,
05:44but there's going to be other special operations forces that will go in first.
05:47There will be the Pathfinder or Elite Reconnaissance units that will go in first.
05:53There's probably already a lot of people on the ground
05:57that don't really count as boots on the ground officially.
06:03I find it very hard to believe that we don't have a couple hundred special operations guys
06:10already on the ground doing this type of preparation work,
06:13finding out where is the nuclear material,
06:16where are the launchers,
06:18where are the missiles being kept,
06:19where are the drones coming from.
06:21They're basically doing combat detective work
06:23so they can develop that target list.
06:26Matching, I would imagine,
06:29taking really good intelligence
06:31that's probably shared between the United States and the Israelis
06:33and matching that with checking the ground truth.
06:39If this operation,
06:41why is this operation not a secret?
06:44And on the other side of the coin,
06:46why has the mainstream media, for the most part, missed it?
06:50It almost seems like the mainstream media is rooting against us.
06:53Well, the last thing you said is true, for sure.
06:57There are times when you want to maintain operational security,
07:02secrecy, so that the enemy is not waiting for you on the drop zone
07:05when you're parachuting in.
07:09Nobody wants to jump into a hot LZ type environment.
07:14But if you want to shape the thinking of your enemy
07:20and you want to get inside of his OODA loop
07:22and you want to disrupt his planning,
07:25if he realizes that there's about 10,000 angry 18 to 26-year-olds
07:31about to jump in in his backyard,
07:34he's got to account for that.
07:36You know, there's little groups of paratroopers
07:40wandering around at night, disorganized
07:42and trying to find all their equipment and link up
07:46are still going to be infinitely more cohesive
07:52and effective than any Iranian defenders on the ground.
07:56And one thing that's really good about paratroopers
07:59is you have to account for the fact
08:01that they can go quite, you know, basically anywhere.
08:05Once you achieve air supremacy,
08:06you can put paratroopers anywhere you want to.
08:09And I'm pretty sure we have air supremacy right now.
08:12So the Iranians know that we're coming.
08:15They just don't know exactly what hour
08:17as they look at their watch.
08:19Is it 11 o'clock?
08:20Is it 2 o'clock?
08:21They know they're done.
08:23Yeah, I would agree.
08:24And I think the purpose for saying that in the open
08:27does two things.
08:28It makes the last remaining regime people
08:31start to think about packing their bags
08:34while they can.
08:35And also, I would hope it would be a glimmer of hope
08:38to anybody on the ground
08:40that wants to take their country back
08:43and shuffle off the yoke of Islamic extremism.
08:50Rob, some people tend to,
08:52some people still think that
08:54Donald Trump shoots from the hip.
08:57Do you think this action was well planned
09:01or has been planned?
09:02Or did they just whip it up in the last six hours?
09:05Well, I would say that no president creates
09:13strategic or tactical plans.
09:16He may want to do something,
09:18but he's going to go to his senior commanders
09:21and say, what can we do to affect this?
09:25What can you, General So-and-so, offer me?
09:30Give me some options.
09:30And they're going to go to a bunch of lieutenants,
09:34colonels, and majors, and captains
09:35that have been locked up in a small room
09:37for too long on PowerPoint,
09:41writing and rewriting and rewriting again
09:44all these contingency operations
09:47for any possibility you could think of under the sun.
09:52There's a bunch of planners
09:54that are committed to always having these options.
10:00So the bottom line of it is,
10:03besides the specific need today,
10:05this scenario and many, many, many others
10:07are already gamed out and planned and tested
10:10and brought out when they're needed.
10:12I take it that's the way it works.
10:14Yeah, I wouldn't say that there's a plan for everything,
10:17but a lot of things have been planned to death
10:22for, in some cases, 40 years, right?
10:26There are people that retired from the U.S. military
10:2920 years ago that are probably excited
10:32in what they're seeing now
10:33because they never thought that somebody would do
10:36what their dream was to take care of this current problem.
10:41So it's really exciting.
10:43Okay.
10:44On balance, do you think we'll be successful
10:46in whatever we're trying here?
10:49Well, I think, yes, we usually are.
10:55What I would like to see is that we don't
10:58completely destroy all the infrastructure,
11:02be it oil or drinking water or sewage or power.
11:08I think causing the people to suffer without infrastructure
11:15really doesn't keep an armed, militant Islamic government.
11:22It doesn't weaken a government.
11:26The people that live under fear under a regime like that
11:30aren't going to be any more capable
11:34in throwing off the chains of that government
11:39if they have no electricity.
11:40So I think one thing that we learned in Iraq is,
11:44you know, we did the shock and awe,
11:45and it looked really cool.
11:47And then it took us forever to turn the lights back on,
11:50took us forever to get the water going again.
11:53And we had, because of that,
11:56because we felt we had to blow everything up,
11:58I think we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory,
12:03so to speak.
12:05And we had a very clear victory
12:09where we had the support of the people.
12:12And there was that long time period
12:15where we just couldn't get things up and running.
12:17Of course, we fired the Iraqi army
12:19and Al-Qaeda managed to come in.
12:22A lot of things happened.
12:23I don't want to oversimplify it,
12:25but those are the things that I don't want us to repeat
12:27now.
12:28So hopefully we don't blow all that stuff up.
12:31Okay, thanks, Rob.
12:33This has been very informative.
12:34We're going to do a follow-up tonight
12:36as more unfolds.
12:39Be well, stay safe,
12:42and God bless America.
13:03You
