I’ll just put this out there but national guard has been called out to every inauguration at least in the past couple decades. My friend was called out to DC and they gave him an option to go and he told me “yeah I refused since it would be an unarmed deployment and I’d probably be stuck directing traffic. However...this time idk. Just trying to lay out what I at least was told.

But how many national guardsmen is it typically? There are supposedly like 15,000 troops in DC right now.
