National Guard to use boats, Humvees in expanded DC presence
The National Guard will begin using boats, up to 60 marked police cars, and military tactical vehicles in Washington, D.C., after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized the move late last month, a Pentagon official confirmed to The Hill on Thursday.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets focus on the Pentagon’s authorization to expand the National Guard presence in Washington with boats, Humvees and marked police cars. The Hill and Fox News foreground the hardware list directly, while the New York Times adds that the Pentagon said the decision was made on Oct. 29 and ties that timing to Republicans’ midterm defeat. Only Fox News mentions a council hearing calling for the military presence to be removed.
