The Pentagon has issued a prepare-to-deploy order to military police at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, amid rising tensions in Minneapolis following protests over a fatal incident involving federal agents. At least a few hundred soldiers are being readied for potential deployment, though no decision has been made to send them.
Two battalions from the Army’s 11th Airborne Division, trained for cold weather operations, are also on standby. Active-duty troops cannot engage in civilian law enforcement unless the president invokes the Insurrection Act, which remains a potential but unconfirmed step.
Local leaders, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, continue to call for peaceful responses and emphasize constitutional limits on military involvement. The situation remains under close monitoring by federal and state authorities.
