The US Department of Defence played a key role in coordinating the global “covid crisis” through its Geographic Combatant Commands and “whole-of-US-government” approach.

“[It] remains uniquely positioned to project the power of the whole-of-US-government globally under the pretext of a ‘pandemic’,” Democracy Manifest writes.

How the Pentagon Coordinated the Global “Covid Crisis”

By Democracy Manifest, 7 September 2025

Author’s note: For an overview of the USG-led coordination of the early covid crisis,” see “new” details on DoD Geographic Combatant Commands and their relevance to the Spring 2020 simulated “live exercise”… versus the true crisis that took place during the deadly lockdowns.

How To Pull Off A ‘Pandemic’: “Military-Military Coordination”… of a “Crisis”

In 2025, the strategic set-up behind the covid operation is much easier to see in retrospect.

The “manufactured covid crisis” in March 2020 was deployed after the fact – in order to justify the fast-tracked “medical countermeasures” which had been in the pipeline since the sharing of the “sequence” (if not before).

Terrorising the public with stories of supposedly catastrophic “spread” (that could be “slowed”) was the surest way to justify this rapid “vaccine solution.”

Part of the sales pitch (aka psyop) was the need for “non-pharmaceutical interventions” in the interim.

The origins of this whole-of-Washington-led “pandemic” plan – including lockdowns – had been in plain sight since the Pentagon’s ‘Dark Winter’simulation in June 2001, and repeatedly rehearsed in the lead up to ‘The Big One’.

In June 2019, a 3-minute video by the US Department of Defence – featuring images of a novel coronavirus! – presaged the main event.

[We have embedded the video to begin at timestamp 27 seconds, watch the critical 15 seconds that follow. “Don’t miss the pandemic-preventing hazmat suit in the DoD biolab,” Democracy Manifest said.]

JPEO-CBRND: Medical Rapid Response, 3 June 2019 (3 mins)

From the video above:

(Gotcha: Warp Speed injections “in a crisis” will NOT be “safe and effective”.)

Put another way: The covid “live exercise” to develop and deploy “rapid response” public-private medical countermeasures demanded a (manufactured) “crisis”… in the form of a “disaster response.”

According to a current “scientific” definition, the so-called Pandemic Response refers to:

The key descriptor here for “emergency actions” is the word “coordinated.

How is this achieved in the early phase of a “global pandemic” – before it’s even declared?

Is there an entity with worldwide reach capable of coordinating the appearance of a (fake) PHEIC – a Public Health Emergency of International Concern – through the simulation of a “disaster response to an evolving ‘outbreak”?

Hint: It’s not the (US goverment-driven) WHO.

Expose News: US Department of Defence's global map reveals key role in coordinating the Covid crisis across continents.

Recall the declaration of all-out war “against the invisible enemy” by the President of the United States in mid-March 2020.

On 18 March 2020, two days into the US lockdowns, the Commander-in-Chief emphasised what winning looked like, [at a video press conference, President Trump said]:

But it’s not (just) about the first Trump Administration.  The longstanding bipartisan connection between the Pentagon and “international public health” was decades in the making. And it continues in the post-covid era.

For example, this Biden Administration news release (from a previous post) highlighted how ‘DOD Supports US-Wide Partner and Ally-Focused Global Health Security Strategy’ (emphasis added):

Which is another way of saying that in the context of “biodefence” against “health security” threats (regardless of alleged “origin” via bat cave, biolab or bioterrorist).

The US Department of Defence remains uniquely positioned to project the power of the whole-of-US-government globally under the pretext of a “pandemic.”

US Global Health Security and Geographic Combatant Commands

Remember this formula from a post on the US origins of the “health security” construct two decades before the ‘pandemic’: Homeland Security + Public Health = Health Security?

Read more: The Undeclared War: “Securitisation”, Democracy Manifest, 12 March 2024

Under Obama, Bush’s “homeland security” model for “outbreaks” would go global.  And the first Trump Administration continued the commitment to a worldwide whole-of-US-government-centric enterprise, with the DoD poised to play a major part in the covid policy coup – and the global “pandemic” performance.

The role of DoD “geographic combatant commands” in a “crisis” response was explicitly referred to in a (Gates-backed) report on US Global Health Security released by the CSIS (Centre for Strategic and International Studies) on the eve of the “Wuhan outbreak,” in another extraordinary coincidence of timing.

(The relevant excerpt – from page 44 – has been cut-and-paste onto the cover of the November 2019 report, which features crisis actors in Washington – before Wuhan!)

Expose News: Cover report on US global health security, highlighting the DoD's key role in coordinating the covid crisis response, featuring hazmat suits.
CSIS Commission report on strengthening US Global Health Security The Commission brings together a distinguished and diverse group of high level opinion leaders who bridge security and health comprising six members of Congress past administration officials and representatives from industry private foundations universities and nongovernmental organisations  The Commission would not be possible without the generous support of the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation  18 November 2019

Here’s that sentence again (just like Abraham Lincoln envisioned):

Which makes sense in terms of global operational command-and-control of a “crisis.”

As per Wikipedia on US DoD geographic combatant commands1:

Expose News: World map showing US Department of Defense global commands during the COVID crisis coordination. Northern, Central, Southern, European, Indo-Pacific, Africa.
The six United States DoD geographic combatant commands

For further context on combatant commands as they relate to the covid “live exercise,” let’s return (again) to the DoD document on Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (“CBRN”) Response.

In terms of US joint military doctrine and defence against “biothreats,” the role of US geographic combatant commands (and their commanders – “GCCs”) in biological incident response (as part of the “CBRN Response”) is clearly outlined with reference to longstanding multinational military agreements.

Screenshot of DoD Joint Publication 3 41 on CBRN Response September 2016 p 22 See links to previous posts for details relevant to NATO forces and the ABCANZ Five Eyes armies and Defence Support to Civil Authorities during the covid operation

Now consider the global implications of the United States DoD – with its combatant command structure – as “Lead Federal Agency” for a (phoney baloney) International CBRN Response within so-called Areas of Responsibility.

Figure I 1 Joint Publication 3 41 with a red box to denote International CBRN Response DoD was added as Lead Federal Agency in September 2016

In early 2020, three geographic commands played a key role in the visible “outbreak response” (as noted in previous posts):

The DoD at war with the invisible enemy in early 2020 in Italy Guam and NYC

In both theory and practice, the United States DoD CBRN Defence’s operational framework for “outbreaks” underpins the ability of military “partners” to pull off an “international response” – and the pretence of a “pandemic” – with the Pentagon in pole position.

United States European Command and the Spring 2020 PPE charade

In terms of US-centric operational command-and-control of the covid “live exercise,” the “crisis” in Italy meant USEUCOM (United States European Command) was centre stage for the coordinated “mission” that was rolled out during the “life-saving” lockdowns in Spring 2020.2

This was, in effect, a military-industrial personal protective equipment (“PPE”) procurement-and-delivery performance, including boots-on-the-ground to move boxes of masks, as part of “biodefense,” at a time of scripted supply-chain disruption and a shortfall of phoney PCR tests.

Here’s an overview of the 2020 PPE theatre, Act One (set in Italy), as explained by a representative of USEUCOM’s Interagency Partnering Directorate3 a year after the initial lockdowns (emphasis added):

Evidently, there is some utility for (otherwise useless) PPE costumes, as $10 million to stage an “outbreak” in Europe goes a long way!

PPE propaganda plus Is Europe Losing Italy Financial Times 6 April 2020

(Serious side note: What was being sprayed in locations where “outbreaks” occurred??)

These were just the opening scenes of the Live Action Role Play in the (literal) European theatre of war-against-the-virus over the following 12 months.

The Lockdown “Live Exercise” Versus the “Care Home Killing Fields”

The “manufactured covid crisis” – to justify the quarantines and vaccines – had (predictable) damaging and deadly consequences.

In parallel with the highly visible “disaster response” to the phoney public health apocalypse in which militaries (and media) played their part – from early “humanitarian efforts” to deliver hand sanitiser at scale to (later) heavy-handed quarantine enforcement – horrific human rights abuses took place off-stage.

In many cases, nursing home residents were abandoned by staff in the wake of the deliberately-manufactured panic and, coinciding with the blanket lock-out of visitors, left to perish from lack of food and water and basic care, in isolation, contributing to the illusion of a “pandemic” caused by “covid.”5

The British Medical Journal December 2021 Covid 19 Neglect was one of biggest killers in care homes during pandemic report finds

The extensive body of evidence presented at the Scottish Covid-19 Inquiry to this effect is shocking.

To get a sense of the early 2020 role-play versus reality, compare the aforementioned account of Colonel Kyle Simpson (USEUCOM) about millions of dollars’ worth of gloves, gowns, goggles, and masks etc deployed across Italy, with the following statement by Shelagh McCall, King’s Counsel, about what happened behind the scenes in locked-down long-term care facilities in Scotland during the same period:

The harrowing details of this pre-planned senicide were summed up succinctly by Biologyphenom as follows:

While PPE paraphernalia was widely recognised for what it was – a gigantic media-hyped “wartime” scam that was central to the staging of a purported “pandemic” – the truth surrounding the care home killing fields remains largely ignored more than five years later.6

To circle back to the President – now in his second term – and the Pentagon’s role in the “pandemic,” the key question remains unanswered: Did Trump “order” the global military Covid response?

Notes:

  • 1 A combatant command – also referred to as a unified combatant command – is: “… a joint military command of the United States Department of Defence that is composed of units from two or more service branches of the United States Armed Forces, and conducts broad and continuing missions.”—Wikipedia – Unified Combatant Command
  • 2 US Transportation Command – a functional combatant command – was also involved with this mission to transport pallets of PPE “to those most in need” across Europe.
  • 3 Note: In the decade leading up to the covid event, USEUCOM’s J9 Directorate – an “interagency collaboration that leverages all elements of national power” – had effectively functioned as a whole-of-US-government outpost within its geographical Area of Responsibility. A similar model was adopted by other geographic combatant commands.  “Besides hosting federal agency partners, the [US European Command] J9 directorate serves as the Command’s lead for interacting with international and non-governmental organisations, the private sector, think tanks and academia.”—‘Whole-of-Government’ Focus Boosts EUCOM’s Effectiveness – October 2012
  • 4 “Inside USEUCOM: covid-19 Support to Allies and Partners” – US Department of Defence links – 5 March 2021: video and transcript
  • 5 The deadly “care” in institutional settings can be linked to prescient protocols that were put in place before ‘covid’ in line with the so-called “CBRN response.”  Read: In 2018, Public Health England listed ‘novel coronavirus’ as a CBRN “biological threat”, Democracy Manifest, 6 February 2025

While previously it was a hobby culminating in writing articles for Wikipedia (until things made a drastic and undeniable turn in 2020) and a few books for private consumption, since March 2020 I have become a full-time researcher and writer in reaction to the global takeover that came into full view with the introduction of covid-19. For most of my life, I have tried to raise awareness that a small group of people planned to take over the world for their own benefit. There was no way I was going to sit back quietly and simply let them do it once they made their final move.
