The U.S. Congress was hit, and the National Guard was delayed in obtaining operational authorization.

According to CNN on the 10th, Governor Hogan of Maryland said on the same day that when the Capitol was hit on the 6th, the Maryland National Guard was quickly informed and ready to go to Washington, D.C. to support, but they failed to get the official Authorization.

Hogan said that “the Maryland National Guard was authorized about 90 minutes late”.

According to the report, due to the specificity of Washington, the National Guard’s operations in Washington, D.C., must be authorized by the U.S. Department of Defense.

Hogan said it was not clear why the National Guard was late for the operation authorization.
