Members of the 104th Fighter Wing, Massachusetts National Guard, attached to Joint Task Force-District of Columbia (JTF-DC), speak with civil authorities at a traffic control point outside of the Inaugural Ball in Washington, D.C., Jan 20, 2025. Approximately 8,000 National Guard service members from approximately 40 states and territories comprise Joint Task Force District of Columbia 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.
