Overview

• About 200 volunteers are still completing processing and required training, extending a readiness timeline that typically takes about 96 hours.
• Officials cited missing or expired training and tests, travel conflicts, and the need to have all 200 soldiers ready as a single unit before deployment.
• The planned mission runs roughly 80 days through December 16, with U.S. North Command now controlling an infantry company and a military police company trained in crowd control.
• The federal government estimates about $3.8 million for troop pay, a figure that excludes logistics such as food, lodging, and transportation.
• Oregon has asked a federal judge for a temporary injunction, with a Friday hearing that could delay or suspend the mission, as officials say duties would focus on protecting federal properties and employees.
