Joint Task Force National Capital Region (JTF-NCR) was activated on March 16 to "secure" Washington in the face of attackers, both foreign and domestic, Newsweek reported Thursday, citing a "senior military officer working on continuity of government planning."
If necessary, JTF-NCR is also tasked with moving White House and other key government offices to alternate locations.

I had posted a little about this task force a day or so ago. I believe that it’s a necessary move to be prepared, because enemies will want to hit you when you are down/weakened.
I ran across this interesting opinion piece and am posting an excerpt and link:

What President Trump Must Do to Stop China’s Invasion
The decisions made by the Chinese leaders, in this regard, were not improvised. Chinese strategic decisions are carefully thought out in advance. Years of study had already gone into bat viruses at the Wuhan BSL-4 virology lab.
In fact, the placement of the BSL-4 facility in Wuhan defies logic — unless we recognize Beijing’s remarkable foresight.
In order to launch a biological attack, China would need an alibi to avoid retaliation. The alibi would have two sides: one alibi would focus blame on America, the other would mask Xi’s malevolent intentions.
The two-sided alibi would, by necessity, have the following features: (1) To forestall retaliation against China, evidence would be planted regarding safety issues and a leak at a Chinese virology lab; (2) to silence criticism from the Chinese public, Communist Party officials would claim the CIA or U.S. military planted the virus as part of an attack on the Chinese people.
To make these parallel alibis deployable at the same time, Chinese planners would first have considered which Chinese city an enemy would target in a biological war. As the central hub of China’s rail and waterway communications, Wuhan would be the logical choice.
Therefore the Chinese planners would have built their strategy around a Wuhan infection scenario. To make this scenario compatible with the “leaky lab” alibi, China’s strategist would also have to place their BSL-4 facility in Wuhan, instead of a more remote location in the Gobi Desert.
