The White House Military Office maintains a ceremonial guard unit that stations four Marines at the White House. Additionally, Marines are tasked with transporting the President to and from the White House on Marine 1.
But that's just during "normal times"... since we live in Clown World, this next blurb about the Marines may hold some relevant information:
"Embassy duty is a crucial aspect of the Marine Corps' mission with a long tradition; the Corps is currently tasked to train and maintain a cadre of guards to cover 181 embassies and consulates worldwide with the ability to augment assigned forces as necessary."
Technically, the White House in the District of Columbia. If a foreign power were to pull off an insurrection and occupy that area, the Marine presence wouldn't be considered a "domestic" police force.
And the Marines? Why are we seeing a lot of marines around the WH in addition to the Secret Service?
