Original Note:
The directive does not grant new powers to the military to use lethal force. It reaffirms that the military’s use of force is highly restricted in domestic situations, following the Posse Comitatus Act and DoD Directive 5210.56 on the use of force by military personnel. https://www.cip.uw.edu/2024/10/18/rumors-defense-department-directive-5240-01/
