The military has lots of different unit types, so the numbers can vary a lot from one unit to the next. (For example, an infantry unit will not have the same number of soldiers as a quartermaster unit.) If you view that graphic as being a loose approximation, then I would say that it’s fairly accurate.

20,000+ troops in DC for a virtual inauguration really seems really over the top.

:48 second video, at :05 it looks as though the coils of barbed/razor wire are in the INSIDE of the fence in front of the Capitol building. Other parts are on outside of fences. I saw this retweeted by numberonepal and he said something like it looks more like keeping people IN.

WATCH: Crews add barbed wire to fences near U.S. Capitol on Thursday (1/14). Special security measures are in place around Washington, D.C. ahead of the presidential inauguration next week @CBSNews @cbsnewspath

Thomas Wictor:

I now say the odds of Trump being inaugurated on January 20 are 100 percent.

KFI AM 640 just reported that there are 26,000 troops in DC and climbing.

AND CLIMBING.

That’s twice the personnel of an entire army combat division.— Numberonepal (@numberonepal) January 15, 2021
