Ahead of the Anniversary of the January 6th Capitol Riots, Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III, issued a Memo to Streamline Authority for Deploying the D.C. National Guard.

The December 30, 2021 Memo, would give the Defense Secretary, Sole Authority, to Authorize the Deployment of the D.C. National Guard in lieu of the Secretary of the Army, who previously had that Authority.

National Guard forces in the 50 States, are Commanded by the Governor of the State, payed by the Federal Government, unless Activated under Title 10, which Federalizes the Guard, to serve under the Commander-in-Chief.

The Department of Defence (DOD), Executive Secretary is the Single point of Entry for D.C. Government Requests, and the Authority may Not be further Delegated, the Memo states.
