The full security details surrounding the installation of US 46th President Joe Biden and 49th Vice President Kamala Harris will never be leaked.
It is a matter of national security that is protected by very high levels of secrecy.
US authorities will only show what they want to be visible to the outside world after the security crash on January 6 when crowds stormed and took over parliament.
Five people died and elected officials were forced to flee.
Before and during the installation on Wednesday, military force will be shown to the outside world.
At least 10,000 soldiers from the National Guard have been deployed the weekend before, according to information in the military publication Stripes, with close ties to the Pentagon.
But the real extent will be shrouded in obscurity.
According to American media, the National Guard in Washington is likely to grow to over 20,000 soldiers armed with M4 automatic rifles and pistols.
Large areas around the White House are completely closed down.
The National Guard is preparing for violence at the Capitolium.

In addition, the Secret Service, the police and the staff of the intelligence and security organizations are most likely to do everything they can to prevent riots or terrorist attacks.
In the United States, there are CIA, FBI, NSA, DIA, NGO, I&A and so on.
The letter combinations are endless.
Authorities fear riots and attacks in the capitals of the 50 states and deploy protection there as well.
CNN reports that the National Guard is prepared for so-called pipe bombs and Molotov cocktails when the presidential oath is sworn on the stairs below the Capitolium.
After the storming of the US Congress, a number of top-flight soldiers wrote a historic letter in which they felt compelled to emphasize to their soldiers that they should defend the constitution.
"Every act to disrupt the constitutional process is not only contrary to our traditions, values and oaths;
it is against the law. ”
