Sun-Times/Lynn Sweet WASHINGTON As of Sunday, there were 267 members of the Illinois Army National Guard here most of them to serve as military police part of the enormous troop build-up in advance of Joe Biden’s inauguration, with the threat level high after the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
The center of this city from the Capitol, to the White House, to the National Mall is in lockdown and security is being bolstered by the minute, it seems. Streets are closed. Concrete barriers are everywhere. Fencing topped with razor wire surrounds the Capitol.
It’s near 7 a.m. I’m downtown. I left my car outside of a National Guard checkpoint a tan Humvee blocked the street to meet up with members of the Illinois National Guard housed nearby.
4 LVIV, Ukraine – A few Soldiers with Task Force Illini, 33rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, Illinois Army National Guard assigned to Joint Multinational Training Group-Ukraine have already deployed four or five times previously in their career. These Soldiers bring valuable experience to U.S. and Ukrainian troops alike.
“From my first deployment to now, the most obvious change is the uniforms. I have worn four different camo pattern uniforms during my deployments,” said Sergeant Maj. Michael Alvis, senior enlisted advisor of the Task Force Illini brigade advisor group. “The Army’s focus has also changed, from large-scale combat operations in Desert Storm to Counter-Insurgency in Iraq and Afghanistan, and now back again to preparing for near-peer fights, like we did during the Cold War.”
