Aside from what the other commenter said, Trump is the Commander in Chief and he called the troops to DC, and he also repeatedly told us they are the good guys. They're there because he wants them there. They're on our side, not the DS. The DS doesn't control the military. Even Nancy couldn't do shit about the troops coming - remember a week or two ago when she started freaking out and asked a Joint Chief what could be done (and for her, nothing)?
Trump DID NOT call the troops in DC. Don't get it twisted. He controls them since they're in DC and that's his jurisdiction, but the people that called them in was the Department of Homeland Security, Congress, and the Department of the Interior. Reportedly, the Guard deployment was signed off by Vice President Pence, ordered by Acting Secretary of Defense Miller, and executed by Army Secretary Ryan D. McCarthy.
