Roughly four months after the deployment began, the National Guard s mission to secure the Capitol will come to a close Sunday night, with its mission officially ending Monday morning at midnight. It was a long haul since January of 2021 but as of midnight tonight there will be no National Guard personnel on the Capitol, confirmed Brigadier General John Driscoll, Task Force Commander of the Guard s Capitol mission.
It was a deployment he never expected. We read about it in the Civil War but we never ever thought we would come back to the Capitol and defend the capitol ever again, he said.
