Lloyd Austin Meets National Guard Troops: 'Defense Department Is Behind You'

New Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met Friday afternoon with the National Guard troops who have been providing security at the U.S Capitol since the violent Jan. 6 insurrection when rioters loyal to former President Donald Trump stormed the building.

Austin thanked the troops for their service, professionalism and commitment and told them their country is grateful for their efforts.

Austin told them "the Department of Defense is behind you," and repeatedly asked different groups of guardsmen if they are being provided everything they need.

"We want to make sure you got what you need and we're taking care of our troops. I really care about that. I know you know that," he said.

Approximately 7,000 National Guard members from throughout the country are stationed in Washington around the Capitol. That number is expected to fall to 5,000 by the end of February.

Austin urged the troops to "stay focused," adding, "we got you out here for a reason, and I don't want to take anything for granted."
