Ret. Gen. William Enyart on D.C. Shooting: National Guard Soldiers Are Not Civilian Law Enforcement Personnel

‘There‘s already been reporting that now Washington, D.C. police will be accompanying National Guard soldiers’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

ENYART: “Well, certainly. In fact, there‘s already been reporting that now Washington, D.C., police will be accompanying National Guard soldiers. And, you know, here‘s the fact of the matter. National Guard soldiers are not civilian law enforcement personnel. They‘re not trained to do that. We‘re trained to be combat soldiers. That‘s the training we receive. We have two missions. One is to be a combat force reserve that deploys overseas to battle this nation‘s enemies. And the second is to serve as a trained, ready force for the governor for natural disasters. And, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, that sort of thing. Or occasionally civil disturbances. But what we are not, we are not a trained civilian law enforcement. And of course, as you know, a lone wolf is just the nightmare of all security personnel, whether they‘re law enforcement or military or intelligence services. They‘re so hard to stop.”
