And yet in 2013, (on a smaller scale), it WAS billed as "tame[ing] the indigenous population". Then cancelled after public concerns.

All military training has a proposed back story. Some other "country" (usually made-up, but sounding like some actual place) as the bad guy.
And why the heck is all of SoCal marked as an "Insurgent Pocket"?
This looks like a play on the letter of the law, that Obama is getting known for, where instead of the Feds imposing on States, they have gotten the States to invite the Military in.
This idea is reinforced by the PDF's pg 3, "Letters of Invitations obtained from local officials (Mayor, County Commission)" - The invitations or permissions by the States is noticeably absent.
Basically they are playing REFORGER inside the USA. Only they're not using full force, they are using JSOC.
The primary purpose of REFORGER was a show of force to the Communists during the Cold War. It was staged in Germany as it comprised the majority of the NATO/USSR boarder.
I have to wonder if this isn't meant as some kind of message on immigration.
