Virginia National Guard Staff Sgt. Mark Heaton, a public affairs specialist with Joint Force Headquarters Virginia, captures footage of soldiers assigned to Joint Task Force - District of Columbia (JTF - DC) and local law enforcement directing citizens and managing traffic in Washington, D.C., Jan. 20, 2025.
Approximately 8,000 National Guard service members from approximately 40 states and territories comprise JTF-DC to support the 60th Presidential Inauguration, continuing a legacy that began in 1789 when their predecessors escorted George Washington to the first inauguration. At the request of civil authorities, these National Guard service members provide critical support such as crowd management, traffic control points, CBRN response, civil disturbance response and sustainment operations. Their expertise and seamless collaboration with interagency partners help ensure a safe and peaceful transition of power during this historic event.
