Army Caught Labeling Nonprofit Organizations as Terrorist Groups in Antiterrorism Training Materials for Soldiers

"An undated photo of Army anti-terrorism training that mistakenly labeled pro-life nonprofits, animal rights groups and other organizations as terrorist groups in official training that was doled out to thousands of soldiers for nearly a decade at Fort Liberty, North Carolina. Army leaders told Congress Wednesday that 'the training materials were very poorly developed.'" (Credit: National Right to Life)

A PowerPoint slide shown to trainees at Fort Liberty mislabeled real nonprofit organizations and terrorist groups for years before photos of the mistake went viral on social media.

According to Lt. Gen. Patrick Matlock, the Army deputy chief of staff, since the images of the slides were shared online, the army has removed those slides from their training while an investigation is underway.
