The U.S. military is sharply increasing the number of National Guard forces in Washington, D.C., and, in an extraordinary move, has readied active-duty troops outside the city to potentially respond to protests over the death of an African-American man in police custody, a senior defense official said on Monday.
The demonstrations, which have been largely peaceful but have turned violent after dark, have erupted across the country over the death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who died in Minneapolis police custody after being pinned beneath a white officer’s knee for nearly nine minutes.
The senior U.S. defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said all of the 1,200 National Guard forces in Washington, D.C., had been mobilized and five states were sending 600 to 800 additional Guard troops who could be on the ground by evening.Beyond that, active U.S. military duty troops - including military police and engineering units - were on standby in the National Capital Region but outside the city itself and were ready to deploy if needed.
