"Pennsylvania Guard members are well-trained and well-prepared to assist our communities, commonwealth and country in any way they can," Acting Adjutant General Maj. Gen. Mark Schindler said. "We are also very fortunate that our Guard members have extensive experience working alongside the D.C. National Guard as part of past training events and presidential inaugurations."
The PNG members activated will report to their local armories over the next few days to receive their assignments and then travel to the D.C. area to support as required.
