The troops were among the more than 20,000 National Guard personnel who provided security for the inauguration on Wednesday. Early Friday morning, the D.C. Guard said that the soldiers had been moved back to the Capitol from the parking garage. One soldier estimated that there were 1,000 troops sharing one portable restroom outside the garage. The soldiers also said that their fellow troops were breathing in exhaust fumes because the garage at the Thurgood Marshall centre was still in use for parking. Some offered to house the Guard troops in their offices.
