Approximately 1,700 US service members, primarily from the National Guard with a small active-duty component, are set to assist with security measures at the Republican National Convention this week, according to Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh.
The personnel are mainly from the Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota National Guard. They will be providing various capabilities such as civil support, explosive ordnance disposal, and security services. Additionally, they are prepared to respond to any emergent domestic requirements to safeguard life, property, and maintain peace, order, and public safety.
