Steve Watson – modernity.news Aug 13, 2025

The Washington Post is reporting that the Pentagon is planning to create a special task force of National Guard troops that would be deployed to deal with riots and civil unrest in U.S. cities.

Named the “Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force,” it would comprise at least 600 National Guard troops, according to the report, who would be able to deploy to any city with just an hour’s notice.

The development comes after President Trump ordered troops deployed to Washington D.C. Monday to crack down on crime and uphold law and order.

<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet”><p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”>Breaking news: The Trump administration is considering making a military “reaction force” for civil unrest that would have 600 troops remain on standby to deploy in as little as one hour, according to internal Pentagon documents reviewed by The Post. <a href=”https://t.co/BGUm7J2sR0″>https://t.co/BGUm7J2sR0</a></p>&mdash; The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) <a href=”https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1955232889597030586?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>August 12, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src=”https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

The report suggests that the task force would be split into two groups of 300 troops each, one group being stationed in Arizona and the other in Alabama. Each group would respectively be assigned to respond to unrest west and east of the Mississippi River.

The DoD is keen on the move after what it views as a great success in Los Angeles in June when 2,000 National Guardsmen were sent to the city in response to violent anti-immigration enforcement uprisings by leftists.

“Just like we did in Los Angeles—we took a lot of criticism for 4,000 troops, 700 Marines, do you know what we didn’t get?”

“There was no summer of love in 2020. In 2025, there was a summer of law enforcement and we quelled protests of the attacks on ICE officers.”

“We’re going to help get D.C. under control by working with local officials who have been federalized with federal officials who are coming in.”

“The D.C. Guard is proud to be a part of it. Other states will contribute.”

“Whatever is needed, the DoD will provide to make sure this is a safe city for those who live here, for those who work here, and the Americans who want to come visit here.”
