Welcome to New York National Guard Joint Task Force Empire Shield which is old enough to vote.
This has been going on since 9/11. PATH train protection has been at least since 2007
ALSO always be wary of people posting videos with no date. Streamable is a way to capture video of your computer. So someone instead of pointing to the actual source of this video grabbed only this clip. Why?

NEW YORK CITY (Army News Service) -- Musician John Legend performed Aug. 16 at the opening of a new shopping mall inside an 800,000-square-foot facility which serves also as a commuter hub at the World Trade Center site in lower Manhattan. It's expected some quarter million commuters will move daily though the facility.
About 20 Soldiers from the New York National Guard were there at that event as well, though they weren't invited guests and they weren't there to shop or travel, either. They were working as part of a unique kind of security detail not seen elsewhere in the United States.
**Since 9/11, Soldiers with the New York National Guard have signed on as part of Joint Task Force Empire Shield, or JTFES, which puts a military presence on the ground around New York City at transit hubs such as at the new shopping mall, **Grand Central Station, Penn Station, LaGuardia Airport, JFK airport, the Port Authority Bus terminal, and various bridges and tunnels in the city: all places where there are a lot of people who are in the process of moving into or out of the city.
Headquartered at Fort Hamilton, an active-duty Army installation in Brooklyn, New York, JTFES is a response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
