INTEREST OF AMICI CURIAE
Amici are former secretaries of the Army and Navy and retired four-star admirals anc
generals. Collectively, they served under each president from John F. Kennedy to Barack H
Obama.
Amici are acutely interested in this case because deploying National Guard and active-duts
military personnel in the context of domestic law enforcement should be a rare and carefully
considered occurrence that strictly complies with the Posse Comitatus Act and its exceptions
Domestic deployments that fail to adhere to these long-established guardrails threaten the Guard':
and the active-duty military's core national security and disaster relief missions; place deploye
personnel in uncommon situations for which they lack appropriate training, thus posing safets
concerns for personnel and the public alike; and risk inappropriately politicizing the military
leading to additional risks to recruitment, retention, morale, and cohesion of the force.
