EOPSS: Baker ending National Guard activation order
Today, Governor Baker authorized the Massachusetts National Guard to end the Governor’s Aug. 28 activation order.
An EOPSS Spokesperson released the following statement.
“Following coordination with municipal leaders through the weekend regarding potential large scale demonstrations, Governor Baker today authorized the Adjutant General of the Massachusetts National Guard to end the Governor’s Aug. 28 activation order. That activation, which made Guard personnel available in the event that municipal leaders required their assistance, will end at midnight tonight.”
Governor Baker’s Aug. 28 order (attached) allowed up to 1,000 members of the Guard to assist municipalities “until further order of the Adjutant General.”
National Guard personnel were ready to assist cities and towns throughout the activation but did not take an active role in any municipal operations.
