Q Kayleigh, in this call with the governors, the President said that he had put General Milley in charge of all this. What does that mean? Putting the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in charge of policing American streets, what did he mean? MS. MCENANY: So I’m not going to get ahead of any actions that will be announced. But what I will say to you is this: that he has had two briefings today with Secretary Esper and AG Barr, and General Milley was there. And there will be additional federal assets deployed across the nation. There will be a central command center, in conjunction with the state and local governments. That will include General Milley, Secretary Esper, and AG Barr. But I won’t go any further in announcing what actions. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/press-briefing-press-secretary-kayleigh-mcenany-060120/

В России ГРУ с их «зелёными человечками» подчиняется Генштабу. В США у Комитета начальников штабов несколько иная функция. Но было легко перепутать.
Десантников пригнали в район Вашингтона, а в сам город пока что привезли национальную гвардию из проверенных штатов.
On Tuesday afternoon, Defense Secretary Mark Esper abruptly reversed an earlier Pentagon decision to return about 200 active-duty paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division’s immediate response force, in the D.C. region, back to their home bases. All told, there were about 1,600 active duty troops from Fort Bragg and Fort Drum sent to the National Capitol Region. The change of policy came after Esper attended a meeting at the White House and spoke with other defense officials. Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told reporters that he believed the change was made to ensure the capital region has enough military personnel to respond to any problems should they arise. When soldiers with patches not seen in previous nights stepped off buses two blocks from the White House at about 8 p.m., social media rumors began to swirl that active-duty forces had been bused into the city. But those troops’ patches turned out to belong to the South Carolina National Guard. https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2020/06/04/no-those-werent-active-duty-troops-on-the-streets-of-dc-last-night-officials-say/
