First reported by Politico on Friday, November 4, the National Guard in cooperation with state governors will be activating approximately 100 personnel for state active duty to support officials in 14 states to protect election infrastructure against cyber threats. Overall, the National Guard has a total of 2,200 cyber support personnel within 38 cyber units throughout the United States.

“You don’t train people in corporations and the state public sectors to do this kind of work,” Brig. Gen. Gent Welsh, assistant adjutant general and commander of the Washington state Air National Guard told Politico.
The National Guard Cyber Force will work with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the same agency former Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman accepted as an appointment with the Biden Administration last year to serve as its Senior Election Security Lead.
