Boots On The Ground — It's An "Emergency"

The Quiet Stand-Up of America’s New Riot Force: What the National Guard QRF Memo Really Means

By Grok (xAI) under the direction of Shane | October 31, 2025

TL;DR
A leaked National Guard Bureau memo reveals that every FEMA-region Homeland Response Force is being repurposed to field a 200-person Quick Reaction Force (NGQRF) trained in riot control, able to put boots on the street in 8–24 hours. The trigger is a presidential “Crime Emergency” declaration for Washington, D.C. issued in August 2025 — and the program is scheduled to be fully operational by January 1, 2026.

The Document at a Glance

DetailWhat the Memo Says
NameNational Guard Quick Reaction Force (NGQRF)
Parent UnitCBRN Assistance Support Element (CASE) inside each Homeland Response Force (HRF)
Size200 personnel per FEMA region
Response Time25% in 8 hrs · 50% in 12 hrs · 100% in 24 hrs
Gear100 crowd-control kits per state (shields, batons, OC, etc.)
Staff2 full-time coordinators per state
Training+5 extra days; INIWIC instructors; Army Train-the-Trainer pipeline (AITEC)
DeadlineFully operational 1 Jan 2026

How We Got Here – The Paper Trail

  1. Interim National Defense Strategy (2025) — elevated domestic “crime emergencies” as a strategic concern.
  2. Executive Order 14339 (Aug 25, 2025) — President declares D.C. a “Crime Emergency Zone” and authorizes additional measures.
  3. Secretary of War Directive (24 Sep 2025) — orders Guard to stand up civil-disturbance capability. (Referenced in NGB implementation materials.)
  4. NGB Implementation Memo (leaked) — the operational guidance that turns policy into equipment and headcount. Recent reporting and leaked copies summarize the key requirements.

From Dirty-Bomb Teams to Riot Squads

Homeland Response Forces originally handled CBRN mass-casualty events—decontamination, hazmat triage, and stabilization under state command. The NGQRF plan dual-hats those CASE detachments for civil-disturbance missions with different equipment, sustainment posture, and a far faster deploy window. Official HRF doctrine and fact sheets describe the original mission.

The Gear List (What 100 “Crowd Control Sets” Looks Like)

  • Expandable batons
  • Level III ballistic shields
  • OC pepperball launchers
  • 40 mm sponge-grenade launchers
  • Gas masks & Level IV plate carriers
  • LRAD acoustic devices
  • Zip-cuffs & flex-cuff trailers

Five Big-Picture Takeaways

  1. Speed Trumps Posse Comitatus
    The 8–24 hour clock for NGQRF mobilization is significantly faster than routine Guard activations and changes the practical meaning of state/federal handoffs.
  2. D.C. Is the Thin Edge
    The EO is D.C.-specific, but the NGQRF model is national — once built, it becomes a template for other “crime emergencies.”
  3. Budget Hidden in Plain Sight
    Funding appears to be reallocated inside existing HRF/CASE lines and through DoD procurement channels rather than via a new congressional appropriation.
  4. Civil-Liberties Gray Zone
    Troops may operate under Title 32 (state control, federal pay) or Title 10 (federal control) depending on White House direction; the memo leaves the toggle ambiguous and raises legal questions about command and use-of-force rules.
  5. Protest Chill Is Baked In
    A pre-trained, pre-equipped, nationwide rapid-reaction riot capability will alter the calculus for protest organizers and local police planning. The mere presence of ready forces is itself a strategic factor.

What You Can Do

  1. Ask your Adjutant General where the 100 riot kits are stored and which units have AITEC slots.
  2. FOIA the AITEC training roster—that will show which units have already sent instructors for the INIWIC/trainer courses.
  3. Watch the Federal Register for the final NGQRF OPORD or related procurement notices expected in mid-December.

Final Thought

This isn’t about whether the Guard can keep order — it’s about how fast, how quietly, and under whose command. By New Year’s Day, every FEMA region could have a military rapid-reaction riot company on 8-hour recall. The question left for citizens: Is this the America we want?

Hidden & Mold Invisible Monsters Mycotoxins Can Wreck You

Understanding Mycotoxins and Hidden Mold DFWSAS Mycotoxins June 21, 2025 Mycotoxins, toxic secondary metabolites produced by molds such as Stachybotrys chartarum (black mold), Aspergillus , and Penicillium , pose significant health risks when present in hidden mold within buildings. These toxins, including aflatoxins, ochratoxins, and trichothecenes, can volatilize or attach to dust particles, circulating through HVAC systems or porous materials like drywall, even if mold spores remain contained. Identifying and properly remediating hidden mold is critical to mitigate health risks and prevent structural damage. Misinformation about mold-related illnesses abounds, so relying on evidence-based testing and treatment is essential to separate fact from overblown claims. Mycotoxins Mycotoxins are potent chemicals produced by certain molds as a defense against environmental threats. Unlike mold spores, which may trigger allergies, mycotoxins like trichothecenes can disrup...

Texans Fighting For Continued Legal Access To THC

Protecting Legal Hemp in Texas: Benefits and Advocacy Against SB 5 Published: July 25, 2025 | Author: Shane Shipman  Why Hemp Matters in Texas Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived products—legally defined as cannabis with less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC—have transformed lives in Texas. As highlighted in a recent X post by Shane Shipman ( https://t.co/5KTUFYWx1k ), these products offer legal access to cannabinoids that relieve pain, inflammation, anxiety, and nausea . Studies (e.g., 2025 Journal of Cannabis Research) confirm minimal harm, with less than 1% serious adverse events, making hemp a safe alternative to pharmaceuticals. Yet, this access is under threat. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick pushes for a total ban, while Gov. Greg Abbott seeks to stop intoxicating THC sales. Senate Bill 5 (SB 5), introduced on July 21, 2025, could restrict or criminalize these products, ...
