PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. – By direction of the Secretary of War and in coordination with U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), approximately 200 Oregon Army National Guard soldiers are activated under federal command and control in a Title 10 status to support the protection of federal personnel who are conducting federal functions and federal property in the greater Portland area.
The deployed forces include approximately 200 soldiers from the 3d Battalion,116 Cavalry Squadron and the 821st Troop Command. These units are critical to ensuring the operational effectiveness and logistical readiness of the mission.
As USNORTHCOM’s land component command, U.S. Army North deployed a ground command and control element for Title 10 forces. All Title 10 forces will carry out those military protective activities that the Secretary of War determines are reasonably necessary to ensure the protection and safety of federal personnel and property.
Following Joint Reception, Staging, Onward Movement, and Integration (JRSOI), the soldiers will complete refresher training on Civil Disturbance Operations (CDO), crowd control, de-escalation techniques, and Standing Rules for the Use of Force (SRUF) to prepare for their mission. These efforts ensure the forces employed are fully trained and mission-ready to protect federal personnel and property.
USNORTHCOM will provide more information as the mission progresses.
