Between 200 and 250 military personnel from a unit at Fort Bragg in North Carolina were reportedly expected to arrive in DC as early as Monday night, three Pentagon officials told CNN.
The deployment marks the first time that the Army has been sent in to patrol US streets in nearly 30 years since the 1992 Los Angeles riots sparked by the brutal police custody death of Rodney King.
The troops are expected to provide security in the capital but will not perform law enforcement duties such as arrest and detention of protesters or rioters, per CNN.
It came as President Donald Trump threatened to mobilize ‘thousands and thousands’ of soldiers in cities across the country to ‘end riots and lawlessness’ during remarks at the Rose Garden on Monday evening.
