The deployment of National Guard troops from across the country to Washington, D.C. is expected to cost taxpayers more than $1.4 billion through 2029. This financial impact follows the deployment of troops tasked with supporting operations in the capital.
Reporting by Colorado Newsline indicates that the extended presence of National Guard units will lead to these increased expenditures. The total cost for the deployment is projected to rise significantly over the next several years.
