This visualization, "Domestic Deployment of the Military in 2025," updated on November 10, 2025, displays the geographical distribution, scale, and specific legal authority for four categories of domestic military deployments across the United States. Deployment scale is categorized by the size of the circles, representing 800, 3,000, or 8,000 troops. The legal authorities are color-coded as follows: Article II powers (Yellow), Title 10 Chapter 15 (Dark Blue), Title 10 Section 12406 (Cyan), and Title 32 Section 502(f) (State-Controlled National Guard with Federal Funding, Orange).

The U.S. military is being used inside the United States. There's a lot we don't know about how, why, and under what authorities.

Lawfare's new project–which includes a tracker and a map–follows where and how the military is being domestically deployed. www.lawfaremedia.org/projects-ser...
