WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump’s administration has said it is going to deploy 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles to help protect federal property and personnel during the ongoing protests in the city.

Here is everything we know about the US troops that are being deployed to Los Angeles:

National guard troops usually belong to individual states and personnel in many cases are trained to help with emergencies that those states have to deal with, such as natural disasters

Since they are the reserve force of the US military, National Guard troops are usually part time, meaning that they have other jobs as well.

US Marines on the other hand are active duty troops — it is a full time job.
