The #Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to #Minnesota, #defense officials told WaPo late Saturday, after #Trump threatened to invoke the #InsurrectionAct in response to “unrest” [dissent] there.
The soldiers are assigned to 2 #infantry #battalions with the #Army’s #11thAirborne Division, which is based in Alaska & specializes in #ColdWeather operations.
