More than 13,000 Active Duty, National Guard and Reserve military members were involved in the inauguration. The National Guard is home to a wide variety of capabilities, which can seamlessly integrate with our inter-agency partners for the inauguration,” said Maj. Gen Errol R. Schwartz, Commanding General, and District of Columbia National Guard. “We are proud to support the peaceful transition of power and ensure safety and the well-being of our fellow Americans during this nationally symbolic event.” Interagency cooperation led to the success of the 2013 Presidential Inauguration. The National Guard conducts extensive planning with its partners to ensure a consolidated, coordinated and effective approach.

The parade is organized by the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region, and participants are selected by the Presidential Inaugural Committee. (Official Air Force photo by Technical Sgt.
