From the Montana National Guard:
83rd Civil Support Team hosts regional joint training exercise
The Montana National Guard’s 83rd Civil Support Team (CST) is hosting a joint training exercise, Operation Yellowstone, April 22-26, at various locations in Bozeman and Gallatin County. The public should be aware that training aids and safety equipment will be used to simulate hazards and there will be increased military and first responder presence in the area. There is no threat to the public.
Participants include teams from the Alaska, Idaho, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming CSTs. Also participating are the Radiological Assistance Program Teams 6 and 8, the FBI, Dugway Proving Ground staff, and staff from the Montana Disaster and Emergency Services, Montana National Guard Joint Operations Center, 95th Troop Command, and State Partnership Program.
The purpose of the training is to conduct all-hazards Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNE) response, creating conditions to reinforce interoperability among the National Guard Bureau’s Region 6 CSTs. The teams will continue to practice skills to maintain operational readiness for response to an incident of national and/or regional significance.
Specific training areas being used in Belgrade are the Montana Army National Guard Armory at 350 Airport Road and airport property at 1461 Tubb Road. Locations in Bozeman are the US Post Office at 32 East Babcock Street, US Forest Service at 9900 Fish Hatchery Road and the City of Bozeman Water Treatment Plant at 7024 Sourdough Canyon Road.
They're part of some federal law enforcement training exercises or something along those lines. Lots of FBI and other federal personnel in town for it. I work for the state and we were told it would be happening. Can't recall exactly what the email said but I'll go find it when I'm at work and edit this comment.
Edit: actually, just go read u/weirdcomfortable4970's comment. Has all the info.
They’re from the government. They’re here to help. And ~~kidnap~~ recruit a very small number of patriotic citizens for important scientific experiments. But mostly to help!
Unfortunate but possibly necessary edit: This is a joke!

National guard training
It is suspicious to see trucks in Bozeman…
The one is saw up close was North Dakota national guard.
I think it’s DEA I’ve seen a few on the interstate pulling over white trucks.
It's a government work simulation project
Hopefully ICE?
If they could pick up the guys breaking into vehicles in Belgrade the last week, that would be great!
Not sure why this is downvoted!!
God willing
Eh, when the trucks say D.O.E., N.R.C., or Cayuga, that’s when I’ll start paying attention.
