It was a terrorist attack, but the plan "already approved by President Trump" (God help us!) did not, apparently, get most of the units moved "via helicopter to the site of the incident." There were no federal responders in evidence taking any initiatives and sparing no resources dealing with that crowd.

The paragraphs you have cited seem to describe a small number of people being deployed directly at the Capital.
