Security meetings this week to determine when National Guard can go home
Fox News
A leaked email from the Pentagon's acting point person on Homeland Security written on Jan 20 raised alarm bells about just how long the National Guard will remain guarding the Capitol, an expensive mission with no clear end date which has Republican lawmakers asking for answers.
An e-mail obtained by the Fox affiliate in Washington DC, suggests the Pentagon is planning for a possible longer deployment. Robert Salesses, who began Performing the Duties of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Global Security on January 20, 2021, wrote in the e-mail: "If it’s not possible to sustain at the current level with NG personnel, we need to establish the number of NG personnel (DCNG and out-of-state) we can sustain for an extended period – at least through Fall 2021 – and understand additional options for providing DoD support, to include use of reserve personnel, as well as active component."More Related News
