Army Extends Orders for DC National Guard Through Nov. 30: Officials
Orders for about 950 District of Columbia National Guard members have been extended to maintain continuous benefits during a federal mission amid ongoing legal challenges.
- The District of Columbia National Guard had its orders extended through November 30, covering approximately 950 members, as confirmed by a memorandum from Army Secretary Dan Driscoll.
- Officials say the extension aims to ensure uninterrupted benefits and pay for troops amid months-long deployment and follows legal challenges, including a lawsuit by D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb, while the White House asserted the deployment falls within presidential authority.
- About 1,334 out-of-state troops remain in D.C. under their governors, many ordered to stay through December, with Guard members visibly patrolling Union Station and Metro stations.
- The timeline remains open-ended, with officials noting President Donald Trump can shorten or extend the mission past November 30, while military leaders prepare leave policies for deployed service members.
- The administration signaled it may deploy similar forces to Chicago and Baltimore despite resistance, while Metro's Part 1 crimes fell from 778 last year to 480 this year and legislative hurdles persist between House and Senate.
