An 82nd Airborne Division’s Immediate Response Force battalion arrived to Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland Monday evening for a civil unrest mission in the nation’s capitol, according to sources.
The IRF battalion — which deployed to Iraq earlier this year to quell Iran-backed violence — brought approximately 750 soldiers, ten Black Hawk helicopters, and four Chinooks, according to sources. The helicopters are utility, not attack, and are used to transport troops short distances.
The aircraft are just one of the ways troops could be transported, but would give the IRF the ability to rapidly deploy to a number of locations in the D.C. Metro area quickly.
The force was ordered to the region on Monday afternoon, after being told to be ready on Saturday, sources told Breitbart News.

Oh, I'm waiting. - This shit will end when a large group of these mother fuckers get capped between the eyes. - DONE. - No more riots, nothing. - These people are fucking cowards. They'll see that shit and go home and scream into their pillows just before frantically deleting all their social media accounts.
