The DOD has released its official timeline regarding the National Guard's response to the assault on the Capitol on Wednesday, and I have several questions.

The Defense Department was doing table top exercises about its contingency plans at 11:30am on the morning of the event? They're wargaming 1 hour and 20 minutes before the first rush on the Capitol's west side.

It takes 1.5 hours between Mayor Bowser's 1:34pm request for help and Acting Defense Secretary Miller to activate the National Guard at 3:04pm. This despite the first "open source" info about the movement toward the Capitol coming in at 1:03pm.

154 guardsmen finally depart the Armory at 5:02pm. It takes them 38 minutes to get to the Capitol. Unless this is a different Armory we're talking about, it should be a 10-minute drive.

In other words, a mob rush on the Capitol began taking down police barriers at 12:53pm. The building was breached, according to our research, at around 2:10pm. The National Guard was mobilized at 3:04pm. And the first troops didn't actually arrive until 5:40pm.
