The extension of the United States National Guard deployment in Washington, DC until January 2029 will cost roughly $1.4bn, according to a Defense Department estimate provided to Congress.
The figure, covering fiscal years 2027-2029, is based on an average of 2,500 Guard members remaining in the capital. The estimate was released in response to questions from Democratic US Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.
