The presidential election is still six weeks away, but military planners are already focused on welcoming in the next commander in chief next year.
“There is a lot of [inauguration] preparation going on now,” said Army Maj. Gen. Bradley Becker, commander of Joint Force Headquarters-National Capital Region.
“For any national special security event, whether it’s the papal visit, State of the Union address, the nuclear security summit, we stand up as a joint task force. So the same people we work with on those are some of the same people we’re working on with the security aspect of the 58th inauguration.”
