Donald Trump is planning a secret military 'reaction force' that would have hundreds of National Guard troops on standby to deploy into American cities facing protests or civil unrest.
The administration is mulling the creation of a ‘Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force’ that could be ready at a moment's notice.
Internal Pentagon documents call for 600 troops to be ready at all times to deploy to American cities within approximately one hour, according to a report by the Washington Post.
Troops would be split between the east and west of the Mississippi River at military bases in Alabama and Arizona.
National Guard officials reportedly began drafting the plan between late July and early August.
