U.S. Airmen and Soldiers from the District of Columbia National Guard, along with units from several Republican-led states currently deployed to Washington, D.C. as part of President Trump’s “D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force,” are expected to have their orders extended through December, a senior official familiar with the planning told CNN. The official noted that the extension does not necessarily indicate the mission will continue until year’s end, but is meant to ensure continuity of benefits for Guardsmen and their families, including housing allowances and full TRICARE access.
