National Guard keeping 25,000 troops in Washington with no plans to leave — yet
(Worthy News) – The more than 25,000 National Guard troops called to provide inauguration security remained in place Thursday and will continue to patrol the near-vacant capital city until federal agencies release them, military officials said.
“We are here at the request of federal agencies and will stay as long as we are needed to meet their requirements,” D.C. National Guard spokesman Capt. Tinashe Machona told the Washington Examiner without responding to questions about when troops might begin to depart the District of Columbia.
When asked by the Washington Examiner on a Tuesday media call, Hokanson said at least 6,200 would remain for up to 30 days, well after the inauguration concluded. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
