U.S. Army Col. Brad Pierson, commander, 55th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, Pennsylvania National Guard, recognizes Virginia National Guard Lt. Jonathan Elkins, 3rd Battalion, 116th Infantry Regiment, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, with a command coin for his extraordinary support to Joint Task Force-District of Columbia (JTF-DC) in Washington, D.C., Jan. 21, 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.
