On the way...

Georgia Army National Guardsmen with the Winder-based, 1st Battalion, 121st Infantry Regiment conduct final checks and load out prior to departure to Washington, D.C. in support of security operations for the 2021 Presidential Inauguration, Jan. 16, 2021. Military involvement in the Presidential Inauguration dates back to April 30, 1789, when members of the U.S. Army, local militias (the modern-day National Guard), and Revolutionary War veterans escorted George Washington to New York City -- the seat of government for his inauguration ceremony.
