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.

The restraint so far by POTUS and team is astounding. They knew they were being baited by these fuckers. THEY KNEW IT. - It's a stain to be sure. - Lot of senseless death and destruction for nothing. - Nothing. - The mother fuckers who have done this have to pay and answer for what they have done. - Not just this year, but all the lies, filth, and death leading up to this moment have to be taken into account. These mother fuckers have to pay.
