The Trump administration is extending the federal deployment of over 40,000 National Guard troops aiding coronavirus relief efforts, reversing plans for an earlier cutoff
to extend federal support for the troops, warning that states would struggle to afford the deployments while they're still trying to contain the virus. Defense Secretary Mark Esper last week endorsed an extension, and National Guard Chief General Joseph Lengyel told POLITICO he had recommended Trump extend the deployment through at least the end of July.
“We'll have to see in August what needs we still have and if there's a second wave of Covid-19 in the fall on top of flu season,” cautioned Major Gen. Matt Quinn, the adjutant general of Montana and president of the national association of Guard leaders. “Hopefully we'll be a position where Guard members can go back to their civilian lives and everything will be wonderful, but I have my doubts.
"I'm surprised," Quinn said. "I think it's a recognition that this is going to go on longer than expected."
