Governor Tom Wolf says that approximately 1,000 additional Pennsylvania National Guard members have been activated to support the District of Columbia National Guard and D.C. civil authorities in preparation for the upcoming presidential inauguration. This will bring the total number of PA Guard members supporting operations in Washington, D.C., to approximately 2,000. In addition, Wolf said that approximately 450 Pennsylvania National Guard members have been put on state active duty to support safety and security efforts within the commonwealth. Pennsylvania has the second largest National Guard in the country with approximately 19,000 members located in more than 80 armories and readiness centers statewide.
