Washington, D.C. - Virginia Army National Guard Sgt. Tres Savage, an infantryman with 3rd Battalion, 116th Infantry Regiment, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team assigned to Joint Task Force-District of Columbia (JTF-DC) speaks with service members at a traffic control point in support of the 60th Presidential Inauguration in Washington, D.C., Jan. 19, 2025. Approximately 8,000 National Guard service members from approximately 40 states and territories comprise JTF-DC to support the 60th Presidential Inauguration, continuing a legacy that began in 1789 when their predecessors escorted George Washington to the first inauguration. At the request of civil authorities, these National Guard service members provide critical support such as crowd management, traffic control points, CBRN response, civil disturbance response and sustainment operations. Their expertise and seamless collaboration with interagency partners help ensure a safe and peaceful transition of power during this historic event. (U.S. Army National Guard Photo by Spc.
