At least two groups of Guard members were standing near Humvees outside the city’s main train station as taxis and other vehicles drove by.

They also stood near a tent with an anti-Trump sign hanging from it.

The White House said Wednesday the number of National Guard troops in the nation’s capital would ramp up and federal officers would be on the streets around the clock after Trump announced his administration would take over the city’s police department for at least a month.

National Guard officials say they expect troops to start doing more missions as orders and plans are being developed.

Neither Army nor District of Columbia National Guard officials have been able to describe the training backgrounds of the troops who have reported for duty so far.

While some Guard members are military police, and thus better suited to a law-enforcement mission, others likely hold jobs that would have offered little training in dealing with civilians or law enforcement.
