U.S. Army soldiers from the New Jersey Army National Guard load their backpacks on to a bus at the National Guard Armory at Blackwood, N.J., Jan. 9, 2021. The soldiers are part of nearly 500 New Jersey Citizen-Soldiers and airmen deploying to Washington, D.C. (New Jersey National Guard/Mark C. Olsen) 


The head of the National Guard Bureau said Monday that there could be as many as 15,000 Guard troops in Washington, D.C., for Inauguration Day, more than doubling the number of personnel rushed to the city in the wake of the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol breach. 

"We have received support requests from the Secret Service, Capitol Police and Park Police, and have been authorized to provide up to 15,000 Guard members to meet current and future support needs," Gen. Daniel R. Hokanson, chief of the National Guard Bureau, told reporters during a call-in roundtable.
