I think thats what this pretty much comes down to is having some troops prepped in case they are needed for a natural or unnatural disaster where the local law enforcement would be totally over matched and in need of some additional manpower and expertise.
Terrorists don't have large forces. They aren't armies. You don't need large numbers of armed soldiers to fight them.

I think it's great if the military is doing disaster preparedness and disaster response, as long as they leave their weapons at home.
