It makes me wonder if they are going to use the Marines amphibious abilities to take DC. It is a swamp after all. There are several different waterways that come right up into the city. Some of them are pretty big and deep too. If the people in charge of watching the water for potential attack are in on it they would have zero warning. There would be no 10-20 hour drive from some base with people posting videos asking why the military is on the move. No nothing. 5-6 ships would just be mixed in with dozens of other ships and poof 10,000 Marines would be in DC a few hours later.
They would have like 10-30 minutes notice before the first boots hit the ground and boom Marines would be everywhere. Those NG troops wouldn't do jack shit either. Even if they were inclined to fight in some way they would be massively outgunned.
There are also several small bases in that area that they could use to help stage that type of thing. In terms of that sort of invasion it would be very quick. It can take days to move that many people around but done right I bet they could do it in hours.
Every time I see "Watch the water." https://qalerts.app/?n=765

On Friday in Oldsmar, FL someone remotely accessed a computer for the city’s water treatment system and increased the amount of sodium hydroxide (lye) by a factor of more than 100. https://www.tampabay.com/news/pinellas/2021/02/08/someone-tried-to-poison-oldsmars-water-supply-during-hack-sheriff-says/
