President Trump's New Initiative: A Rapid-Response Force for Civil DisturbancesPresident Trump is establishing a new rapid-response force, training hundreds of National Guard troops in every state to handle civil disturbances. The force aims to be operational by early next year, with each state required to have around five hundred trained troops. While the new force builds on existing quick-reaction units, details on how it will differ and operate alongside them remain unclear. The initiative has raised questions about increased military presence in American cities and its impact on local response and military-civilian relations. The Daily News Now! — Every city.
