No, this isn’t an old story.

Just when you would think most National Guard troops should be LEAVING Washington, D.C. and heading back home, the opposite is happening.

An additional 700 National Guard droops have been deployed from the Massachusetts National Guard to D.C.

From Boston25 News:

Members of the Massachusetts National Guard will be providing assistance in Washington D.C. beginning this week at the request of the Department of Defense, National Guard Bureau, and the Secret Service.

On Monday, Governor Charlie Baker signed an order approving up to 700 personnel for the mission.

These guard members will be joined by members from other states.

They will be traveling this week and are expected to return on February 23.

The personnel involved in the mission are different from the 500 soldiers who returned home over the weekend after supporting inauguration events.

Watch this for more details.

Great reporting from my friend Daniel:
