The D.C. National Guard said in a statement that the cost per day of up to 5,000 National Guard members was about $2.65 million


So 30,000 troops = 6 x 2.65
Or
16 million minimum per day

Sounds like a frick ton..... But actually the math checks out. Averages 533 per troop. When you average in all equipment and fuel costs, it sounds reasonable to some extent.
