I think it depends on who authorized all the troops. If Trump did, yeah, they might get worried. But if Pelosi or Biden ordered the troops (do they have that authority?) then they have no fear. But if FEMA ordered the troops, that might make it a toss up about military loyalty. For a virtual inauguration, they all can gather at a secure location (wearing masks of course) and video the whole thing. It’s just us small people who can’t be there. I have no official insight, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn express.
There's no way they snap deployed tens of thousands of National Guard soldiers on a whim either. That had to have been planned and organized for months.
From a ton of states too. And the fencing, barriers, etc. all had to be logistically organized and ready to be deployed. Nobody had to count, or do any numbers, it was there smooth as butter.
While visiting the troops Pence repeatedly told them all to follow the "unified chain of command". That is the SecDef and then Trump. That is it, no one else.
Unified chain is when multiple agencies work with each other. That language is generally used more by FEMA as far as I understand. Some military pede was posting about it yesterday.
