‘Not people who typically serve on front lines’: Troops guarding Capitol include cooks, mechanics

National Guard troops who are assigned to protect the nation’s capital include a large contingent of soldiers whose military jobs are to cook, drive, or change tires for their units, according to social media posts from officials.

Approximately 5,000 National Guard troops remain in Washington, D.C., in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol, wherein local officials sought help from the National Guard. The mobilized troops are from around the country, and belong to units that have been placed under federal control.

The National Guard Bureau, which administers operations of the individual state guards, did not respond to a request for information on the types of troops that have been mobilized to D.C. Photographs and social media posts from the D.C. National Guard, however, show that while some soldiers are military police or infantry, a large number are non-police, non-combat troops.

  1. Well it’s pretty obvious they are not suited to do their job and uphold the Constitution and arrest the illegal occupier of the White House..

    Mr BIDEN TEAR DOWN THAT WALL!!!

  2. Let’s be fair. No matter what your trained specialty is, you are trained first as a combat soldier. You are taught how to shoot, kill, and maim. The people who report otherwise have NEVER served and therefore have no more clue than Pelosi as to what war is all about.

    storm troopers Pelosi hires !!!!

  5. In a REAL insurrection on Jan 06, 2021 , ALL would have been armed incl , RPG’s , Hand Grenades , & the
