Oklahoma National Guard soldiers Sgt. Taylor Frizzell, 1245th Transportation Company, 345th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 90th Troop Command, and Spc. Tristen Courtney, a military police officer assigned to the 745th Military Police Detachment, 345th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 90th Troop Command, conduct an interview with Michael Buchanan and Kevin Eagleson with Gaylord News, a student-powered news organization run by the University of Oklahoma, while assisting law enforcement with directing civilian traffic 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 Sgt.
