Today’s D.C. National Guard remains strong with more than 2,700 Soldiers and Airmen available to execute its missions. D.C. National Guard Soldiers and Airmen resides within the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia, and are proud to be from the communities in which we protect and serve. The D.C National Guard was formed in 1802 by President Thomas Jefferson to defend the newly created District of Columbia. As such, the Commanding General of the D.C. National Guard is subordinate solely to the President of the United States. This authority to activate the D.C. National Guard has been delegated, by the President, to the Secretary of Defense and further delegated to the Secretary of the Army. The D.C. National Guard is the only National Guard unit, out of all of the 54 states and territories, which reports only to the President. The D.C. National Guard provides mission-ready personnel and units for active duty in the armed services in the time of war or national emergency. The D.C. National Guard also retains the mission as protector of the District of Columbia.

Thanks for posting.

There’s a reason Trump called everyone to be in D.C. on the 6th. When the Twitter/MSM etc folks do a blackout of the evidence he wants us to get word out directly.

"The D.C. National Guard is the only National Guard unit, out of all of the 54 states and territories, which reports only to the President."

Thank you. As I knew, the Mayor of DC has NO authority to activate the DC NG. She is lying.

So, it appears that PDJT activated the NG to protect patriots from the commie scum?

I wonder if the DC Guardd is loyal to the President or, like some of the Pentagon leadership take their orders from the the Marxist left?

Then with this being clearly set out my thought on Governor having that power was incorrect and withdrawn...

To find out the Power is through the President paints a Vastly different perspective on their role there.

Much more positive an action.

Respects.
