About 500 supporting the Park Police and about 550 supporting the Metropolitan Police Department. Approximately 600 will be supporting the Secret Service, and approximately 5,000 will be supporting the Capitol Police. National Guard members will be postured to meet the requirements of the supported civil authorities, up to and including protective equipment and arming, if necessary. "

"STAFF: First question to the Associated Press.

Q: Thank you, this is

STAFF: Bob, are you there? I think you might be on mute.

Q: What are the security threats that you're seeing and hearing and being told of, that justify keeping 5,000 National Guard troops at the Capitol for some time to come?

DR. WHITLEY: I think the question was about what's the security picture, what's the threats that we're facing, what do we know about those threats.

We receive briefings, we do not engage in that intelligence work ourselves, we rely on our federal partners,** in particular the FBI, to provide that information**.

"Q: Well, thank you for yours. And I do have one more follow-up question. There's a rumor that there's an armed protest coming up by the end of this month. Are you posturing any of the guardsmen to expect potential armed protests coming up before the end of this month? And if so, how are you going to handle it?

GEN. WALKER: So we have an adequate number of guardsmen armed, we are relying on the intelligence from our federal partners, and essentially our customers, in this case, the United States Capitol Police. We are in support of them, and if there needs to be a shift in our security posture, they will let us know and we will adjust accordingly. "
