U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) officials have requested that the Pentagon provide support from the National Guard ahead of a demonstration in Washington planned for Sept. 18, USCP said.
Officials didn’t provide details on the potential number of National Guard troops that could be deployed, although Pentagon press secretary John Kirby told reporters on Sept. 15 that “it is not an exorbitant ask. It’s not of a particularly large size or major capability. I think it’s more in the form of some manpower support.”
