Communication problems occurred on September 11, 2001.
Are there effective devices that are actually able to carry communications during active work? What does the military use as communications equipment that actually works during combat? Is there any device that actually works during combat? There has to be HACK PROOF equipment. I don’t believe that exists or can exist.
Where communications break down then soldiers rely on their training. What kind of training do Capital Police actually receive? Is it sufficient to counter such an attack as was executed on January 6, 2021?
Regardless, if the Capital Police are trained for combat they 1. Did not have the equipment nor 2. The number of personnel to carry out effective resistance to protect their own lives yet alone the lives of the elected officials in the building, including the Vice President.
There needs to be a new assessment of the ranks needed in the Capital Police. The National Guard going forward cannot remain as a protective force on Capital Grounds. If this level of protection is necessary, then there needs to be a new regiment developed for this purpose. The current National Guard cannot be assigned at Washington, DC forever.
The reality might be that the National Guard Commander will require an active unit at all times. But, to coordinate properly a new regiment might have to be within the authority of the Capital Police and the DC National Guard left as it exists today and as a back up to the Capital Police units.
No matter how this works out the appearance of soldiers at the Capital has to blend so families can visit their national seat of government. That cannot be dismissed as important.
While this beefing up takes place the real work belongs to the FBI and local police across this country to round up these insurrectionists and bring them to justice.
The real problem is Trump and his lousy authority to cause these problems. Going forward the Capital Police have to have an autonomous right to act without authority of a corrupt president and the power structure available for corruption by him. Attendance of such crowds in DC should automatically trigger the protective profile necessary to count any perceived threat.
I don’t believe what a mess Trump made of the security of the USA and the US Senate’s willingness to allow it to exist. I might point to THE ADDITIONAL COST these bozos are incurring for this country because of their wayward loyalties!
