82nd Airborne Division’s Immediate Response Force Headed to D.C. amid Riots

I hope they get another unit on the global response force in case it is needed.

The Pentagon has ordered the 82nd Airborne Division’s Immediate Response Force to deploy to the D.C.-area amid rioting across the nation, according to multiple sources on background.

The force is the same one that deployed earlier this year to quell violent Iran-backed protests in Iraq. Sources told Breitbart News earlier on Monday that the forces were preparing their gear to deploy, but Pentagon officials would not confirm.

A battalion from the 82nd is on call at all times. One company can be anywhere in the world within 24 hours with the rest of the battalion following within 36 hours. (At least those were the time standards when I was in Division.)

Are they bringing their bayonets and real, actual, live ammunition?
Let's hope so.

As with Kent State, none of this will stop until some of their own blood is flowing in the gutter.

So far, they are murdering at will. Time to make the scale completely lopsided.

In most states, lethal force is justified to stop death, egregious bodily harm, rape, and ARSON.
Not one of the rioters has paid the price for their arson to date.
Much less for the murders and bodily harm they have done.

The gloves are off. Cops are ineffective and allow the rioters to do whatever they wish.

I can't imagine they wouldn't have live ammo, especially since so many cops have been murdered and NG shot at. Bayonets? I couldn't say. But I imagine the Paratroopers have combat knives strapped to them.

This is what the Democrats and leftness wants to see. The Lame Stream Media will love showing any damage that my brothers will do.


Not that it doesn't need to be done. Just that the Lame Stream Media will invoke the left's victimhood.

Heard on the radio about a poll. 73% of Americans want the NG on the street. 61% of Dems do. Not sure those numbers would go down much for active duty. Most Americans don't appreciate the difference.

The people want it.....the Demos want it for a completely different reason. Then they can spin it that Trump used the military against civilians.

The 82nd will have be given strict orders for restraint on any of their response.

Yes. During Desert Storm we were on the front and went in a day before the ground war. Someone hire figured it was a great idea to not embed reporters with us.

The National Guard should never have been at Kent State.

Smart move.....as the Media will only blame the military for anything and everything. Higher ups should pass it on. If media is embedded from any Alphabet News Source. Let them stand on their own. When the enemy comes. Let the enemy have them.

Decisions of this nature should not be guided by public opinion polls.
