The SC National Guard provided support at the presidential inauguration Wednesday.

SCNG spokesperson Jessica Donnelly says Guard members participated as they have in past inaugurations.

How many of the Guard members are from Lexington County was not reported.

“This is no different than the support we have provided to past inaugural events,” she said.

Tasks they have performed in the past included manning traffic control points, security checkpoints, and managing the flow of personnel to make sure spectators are able to move around smoothly and safely before, during and after the inauguration.

The state National Guard would not say how many members went or when they will return, citing security and safety.
