National Guard orders in DC expected to be extended through December to ensure troop benefits, source says
More than 2,000 National Guard members support safety, respond to emergencies, and assist community projects in D.C. while efforts continue to secure deployment benefits for troops.
- Members of the District of Columbia’s National Guard involved in President Donald Trump’s federal law enforcement efforts are anticipated to have their deployment orders extended through December to guarantee uninterrupted pay and benefits.
- The anticipated extension arises amid concerns about compensation and benefits, since National Guard members generally become eligible for military benefits like housing allowance and healthcare only if they are activated for more than 30 days.
- As of Tuesday, the mission included 2,290 National Guardsmen, with 1,340 coming from supporting states, and their collaboration with local law enforcement has played a key role in reducing crime rates.
- Joint Task Force-DC acknowledged pay and benefits concerns in a Monday release, while the White House declined to confirm the extension or the mission's duration.
- The extension is designed to maintain uninterrupted benefits for service members, though it does not necessarily mean the mission will extend through the end of the year amid ongoing assessments.
