Talk:District of Columbia Army National Guard

The whole bit after the intro paragraph appears to be a copy-paste from somewhere (possibly the official DCANG website). I'd prefer not to remove the whole thing in its entirety as a lot of it is marginally (at best) interesting enough to be included in some form or another. --MicahBrwn (talk) 07:33, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. Can we get any consensus about what to do with it? Seems like a good bit of the information could be put together into a few decent sections if anyone feels up to the task. We could also use an infobox, pictures, basic information for this article. Noble-savage (talk) 23:18, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

The Mayor of DC is not in the DCARNG's chain of command and he can only request assistance, not activate the Guard. I can't find a good online reference for that and the link purporting to claim otherwise is invalid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.51.217.10 (talk) 12:59, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
