The Pentagon has authorized up to 25,000 National Guard members for the inauguration, the National Guard Bureau said in a news release Friday. That's an increase from the 21,000 troops authorized a day earlier.

"Every state, territory and the District of Columbia will have National Guard men and women supporting the inauguration," the statement said.

As of Thursday, there were 7,000 members in DC from more than a dozen states and the DC National Guard. That number will more than triple in the next few days.

I trust they're not forgetting about them. Prominent Federal Buildings as well.

Can't put anything past these seditionists.

will the national guard have ammunition for their weapons? Do they have authorization to use those weapons in defense of themselves and the capital?
