The Pentagon, under President Donald Trump's administration, is planning to establish a "Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force" composed of hundreds of National Guard troops. This force would be on standby for rapid deployment to American cities experiencing protests, civil unrest, or elevated crime rates. According to documents reviewed by The Washington Post, the troops would be based primarily in Alabama and Arizona and could be mobilized quickly to respond to disturbances in major urban areas. The White House is reportedly considering this Pentagon proposal as a means to address civil disorder. The plan has raised concerns among some lawmakers who view it as a move toward militarizing U.S. cities, particularly with an initial focus on Washington, D.C., and other metropolitan areas. The creation of this rapid-response force reflects the administration's approach to managing domestic unrest and maintaining order.
