There have been many rumors with the mobilization and movement of National Guard units in many of the major states which has understandably intimidated many citizens.

The Maryland National Guard received some of those concerns and decided to squash the fright and fear by responding via their Twitter account. They posted the following: “If you see a @MDNG Humvee on your street, know we are helping someone in need! Whether it’s delivering much needed supplies or setting up tents for health screening stations, we are working for you.”

The National Guard was requested by Baltimore Mayor Jack Young who released a statement in reference to his decision. He wanted the National Guard “to provide humanitarian assistance in partnership with our city agencies as we work to slow the spread of COVID-19… The Guard’s deployment helps provide resources we need to support the work being done to keep Baltimore healthy.”
