Pentagon drawing up quick reaction force of National Guard ready to quell civil unrest at any moment: report

[FoxNews] Troops would be stationed at military bases in Alabama and Arizona under new 'reaction force' plan

The Pentagon is reportedly drawing up plans for a "reaction force" of hundreds of National Guard members who would be ready to deploy at any moment to help quell civil unrest.

The plan, reported by the Washington Post, for a "Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force" calls for 600 troops on standby at all times, ready to deploy in as little as one hour, The troops would reportedly be split into two groups of 300, stationed at military bases in Alabama and Arizona.

The documents, reportedly prepared for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth by policy chief Elbridge Colby, outline a "predecisional" idea.

"The Department of Defense is a planning organization and routinely reviews how the department would respond to a variety of contingencies across the globe," a defense official told Fox News Digital. " We will not discuss these plans through leaked documents, pre-decisional or otherwise."

The administration would rely on Title 32, a status in which the National Guard operates under the command of a state governor but is funded by the federal government, according to the Post. The authority is typically used for domestic missions, such as responding to natural disasters. When deployed under Title 32, Guard members may be granted limited law enforcement powers. A section of the U.S. Code allows the commander in chief to bypass certain restrictions on using the military for domestic purposes.

The troops, from the Army and Air Force National Guard, would be outfitted with weapons and riot gear and receive training for the mission.

The quick reaction teams would work on 90-day rotations to "limit burnout."

It is amazing how quickly the Democrats, and various Leftists can produce massive 6ft x 15 ft size banners and 100's of hand carried protest posters.

Almost like they have these banners and posters were pre-made and waiting in warehouses to be shipped to protest locations.

They sure must have some serious Anti-USA funding to handle their created demands.
