The National Guard has supported the Inauguration every four years since George Washington.

Several thousand service members remained in D.C. following the Inauguration in order to support federal agencies maintain security.

F-35 flying alerts (ie night flying schedules) will only be posted on the Vermont Air National Guard website.
