Note to admins: I'm including this in the LE forum as it is a technical question specifically related to the duties of NG and its role in riot control, regardless that individual Guardsman may not be LEOs.
Context: Over the summer, some of our National Guard members discussed how their state units were structured, with MP units have a responsibility to support LE at the state level with riot control. In addition, states had a "quick reaction force" of types under various names which could be activated on short notice to also provide riot control, and these units may be entirely unrelated to the Military Police Corps but cross-trained in riot control. For instance, my one friend from Connecticut is a Nat'l Guard MP and told me the state quick response unit at one point was a heavy truck company.
Question: For the Guardsmen here, have you seen a change in these response models throughout the last year, especially as things seem to not be showing any signs of slowing down? Have your organization of non-MP units tasked with riot control expanded, or units train harder for riot control and take it more seriously than ever before?
Thanks
