时间线上较早的调动 National Guard 的请求直接到了国防部。国防部先拒绝，后来不得不绕过了串普先去问 Pence, Pelosi, McConnell, Schumer
这是一条fake news。查阅国防部回应即可。Pence无权调动军队。
Law enforcement response
Sund joined a conference call with D.C. government and Pentagon officials at 2:26 p.m. where he "[made] an urgent, urgent immediate request for National Guard assistance", telling them he needed "boots on the ground". However, Lt. Gen.
Walter E. Piatt said he could not recommend that Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy approve the request, telling Sund and others "I don't like the visual of the National Guard standing a police line with the Capitol in the background".

About 2:31 p.m. on January 6, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered a 6:00 p.m.
curfew to go into effect that night.
[221] Virginia Governor Ralph Northam also issued a curfew for nearby
Alexandria and
Arlington County in
Northern Virginia.
[222][223]
Pentagon officials reportedly restricted D.C. guard troops from being deployed except as a measure of last resort, and from receiving ammunition and riot gear; troops were also instructed to engage with protesters only in situations warranting self-defense and could not share equipment with local police or use surveillance equipment without prior approval from Acting Defense Secretary Christopher C. Miller.
[224][225] McCarthy and Miller decided to deploy the entire 1,100-strong force of D.C. National Guard to quell violence.
[226][227] About 3:04 p.m., Miller spoke with Pence, Pelosi, McConnell and Schumer, and directed the National Guard and other "additional support" to respond to the riot.
[228][226][229] The order to send in the National Guard, which Trump initially resisted, was approved by Pence.
[226][230] This bypassing of the chain of command has not been explained.
[231] Around 3:30 p.m., Northam said that he was working with Bowser and Congress leaders to respond and that he was sending members of the
Virginia National Guard and 200
Virginia State Troopers to support D.C. law enforcement, at the mayor's request.
[232] At 3:45 p.m., Stenger told Sund he would ask Mitch McConnell for help expediting the National Guard authorization.
