Washington (AP) – Troops of the National Guard District of Columbia, who are employed in the capital of the country in the capital of the state as part of the federal officials in the capital of the state, has extended their orders until December, an official of the National Guard said.
The main purpose of the expansion is to ensure that all members of DC Guard on the streets of Washington continue to have uninterrupted services and pay a mission that probably remains for months, said the official.
The officer who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not justified to speak to the media said that the expansion does not mean that all 950 DC Guard troops will serve by the end of December, but this is a forceful indication that their role does not process so quickly.
As a rule, agents have to work for more than 30 days to qualify for services such as housing benefit or health care, and the output of several extensions for these orders can sometimes cause interruptions.
Members of the National Guard from Republican states were also sent to Washington. How long these troops, the 1,334, stay in the capital of the nation lies with their individual governors.
A spokesman for the Joint Task Force, all of which monitors wax troops used in Washington, and the Pentagon headed questions about the expansion of the White House. In response to questions, an official from the White House said that Trump was obliged to ensure the long -term security of Washington.
The National Guard officer said that the leaders are also expected to run for the stationary troops on vacation and free guidelines – another sign that the military leaders expect the apply for a longer period of time.
The Task Force recognized on Monday that “she was aware of any concerns about payment and services for members of the joint task force distribution in Columbia”.
“While exceptions exist, the majority of the service members are mobilized on orders that extend over 30 days to ensure that they qualify for complete services,” said the task force in an explanation.
CNN first reported the extension of the DC Guard.
