BANGOR, Maine After seven weeks away from home, Maine National Guard members are back from their mission in our nation s capital. Maine s soldiers represented their state well, working diligently around the clock, providing roving and static patrols around the Capitol, Capt. Garrett Clark said in a release.
Around 25,000 National Guard members from all across the U.S. traveled to Washington for the week of Joe Biden s inauguration in wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Around 200 of those guardsmen were Maine soldiers. A majority of that original group returned to Maine on Jan. 26.
Bangor National Guard Unit Home from Washington DC Deployment
The final Maine National Guard unit to remain in Washington D.C, following the Capitol riots, has returned home.
It was not a mission any of them would have expected, but after insurgents breached the doors of the U.S. Capitol building, Maine soldiers were sent to Washington D.C. to offer an additional layer of protection. The rioters had roamed the halls during a Legislative special session, interrupting lawmakers as they were about to declare Joseph Biden the winner of the Presidential election.
Two Maine units have been sent to Washington D.C. since that day, to offer security for federal buildings. The first wave of approximately 200 soldiers departed on January 16th and returned 10 days later. A second group, combined with about a dozen soldiers from the first group who volunteered to return, departed on January 26th. They returned to Maine on Sunday, March 14th.
