National Guard in each state is ordered to create ‘quick reaction forces’ trained in civil unrest
The Trump administration is ramping up domestic military deployments with the creation of quick reaction forces. These specialized units, trained in crowd management and non-lethal weapon use, will be ready for rapid response to civil disturbances and riots. With memos sent to all states and territories, the plan aims to train around 23,000 troops by January 2026. However, the move faces controversy and legal challenges, with deployments in Chicago and Portland already blocked. Despite the hurdles, the administration presses on, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hinting at multiple response options.
