Nearly 300 members of the Kentucky National Guard are heading to Washington D.C. to assist in the Presidential Inauguration.
While members of the Kentucky Guard have supported past inaugurations, it has been several years since the commonwealth sent such a large number.
More than 250 are from the 198th Military Police Battalion in Louisville. The soldiers and airmen will provide traffic control, crowd management, transportation, communication and security.
Some 7,500 Guardsmen from across the country are expected to join law enforcement in the Capitol.
