Washington, D.C. —Soldiers assigned to various units from the North Carolina National Guard are set to support the 60th Presidential Inauguration, January 20, 2025. At the request of the District of Columbia’s National Guard (DCNG), approximately ten Soldiers will be part of a Joint Incident Site Communications Capabilities team (JISSC) supporting the DCNG during the inauguration.
The JISCC is a mobile communication system designed to provide rapid, reliable communication between military, federal, state, and civilian agencies during various situations and ceremonies, such as inaugurations. The NCNG Soldiers assigned to this year’s inauguration will be part of the DCNG Defense Support to Civil Authorities team and will help establish commercial networks for the district’s tactical operations centers.
The team’s intent is help improve the ability to use wired and wireless internet, VOIP phones, satellite connectivity, and radio communication. These services are critical for first responders and the different national guard units supporting the inauguration to communicate seamlessly.
