Pentagon Readying Thousands of Guard ‘Reaction Forces’
October 30, 2025 at 9:13 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

“The Pentagon has ordered thousands of specialized National Guard personnel to complete civil unrest mission training over the next several months, an indication that the Trump administration’s effort to send uniformed military forces into urban centers — once reserved for extraordinary emergencies — could become the norm,” the Washington Post reports.

“The Defense Department’s newly established ‘quick reaction force’ within the National Guard must be trained, equipped with riot-control gear and ready for deployment by Jan. 1.”

“An existing separate but similar structure, the National Guard Reaction Force, is expected to complete civil unrest training and be fully operational by April 1. The total size of the force will be 23,500 troops across all 50 states and three territories, excluding the District of Columbia.”

1. They "react" to the ketchup hitting the wall.

Each time the Rapist throws a tantrum about a Democratic city, or gets angry at the number of people demanding the Epstein files be released in full, these poor suckers have to "react" by doing bad 'Starship Troopers' cosplay.

2. Here's the deal,

There is a law prohibiting sending in the military during an election.

The work around this is to already have the military on the ground, in the states.

3. The Supreme Court and/or Congress could stop this.

6. People who oppose anti-fascism

are fascists.

1930s Germany was all about making some folks feel superior and powerful by stepping on others.
