COLUMBIA, S.C. (WSPA) – Governor Henry McMaster has authorized the deployment of South Carolina National Guardsmen to Washington DC.

McMaster shared in a media release that up to 200 guardsmen will be sent to support federal law enforcement activities under President Trump’s executive order.

“South Carolina is proud to stand with President Trump as he works to restore law and order to our nation’s capital and ensure safety for all who live, work, and visit there,” said Governor McMaster. “As our National Guard works to support President Trump’s mission, should a hurricane or natural disaster threaten our state, these men and women can and will be immediately recalled home to respond.”

McMaster clarified that the guardsmen will be immediately recalled if a hurricane or other natural disaster requires the National Guard to return to South Carolina.

The order comes at the request of the Pentagon’s National Guard Bureau. Officials stated the deployment will be funded by the federal government under Title 32.
