The Pentagon has initiated plans to establish Quick Reaction Forces within the National Guard across all states to address potential civil unrest and protests. Reports indicate that each state will have a rapid-response unit, comprising approximately 500 troops, ready to be deployed by January 1. Concerns are rising regarding the militarization of domestic responses to civil disturbances, with experts warning about the implications of using military forces for crowd control. The initiative has drawn criticism from various leaders and analysts who fear it may change how the military is utilized on U.S. soil. As tensions mount across the nation, the Pentagon is preparing for possible major civil unrest, with some estimates suggesting a deployment of 23,500 troops for urban operations. Discussions continue around the implications of this military readiness and its alignment with political agendas.
