If you look at the title of DODD 5240.01 it is for SECTION 3: DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE COMPONENT ASSISTANCE TO
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND OTHER CIVIL AUTHORITIES. This directive does NOT cover the entire US military, only those who are assisting law enforcement with intelligence gathering.
who are included when it says DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE COMPONENT
The Defense Intelligence Component includes several key agencies and elements within the Department of Defense (DoD)
. These are: Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)
. National Security Agency (NSA)
. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)
. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO)
. Intelligence elements of the five DoD services: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force
At the bottom of section 3.2 (a) c it says: Such use of force must be in accordance with DoDD 5210.56, potentially as further restricted based on the specifics of the requested support.
On DODD 5210.56 section 3.4 (e) it outlines the steps that are taken for the use of deadly force.
Yes it can still be used against American citizens, but I think they realize they screwed the pooch by letting in these gangs or former military and prisoners, and all of the terrorists. I think the government is planning on using the military to gather intelligence on drug cartels in the US and these forces will be shot at, now they can use deadly force. I don't think this will be used as much for assisting state level and below, its mostly for the feds. I do also believe the feds will start to use SOCOM to help gather intelligence in the US.

⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.

My older sister lives in the country in between Velma Oklahoma and Duncan Oklahoma near the Fuqua Lake area, this story was told by a rural mail delivery woman who delivers the mail in the country.
