West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey announced Saturday he is deploying the West Virginia National Guard (WVNG) to the nation’s capital to support President Donald Trump’s initiative to restore cleanliness and public safety to Washington, D.C.
The response was prompted by a request from the Trump administration, Morrisey said.
WVNG will provide mission-essential equipment, specialized training and about 300 to 400 skilled personnel, according to the governor’s office. The mission will be funded at the federal level.
