Plan Baker was an insurgency defense plan, entailing elements of the Army taking over security for key locations in the Federal District, which they had done within an hour of General Trahn’s order. Moving to their stations, the forces had encountered resistance from Compensation Army marchers along some of the routes; the detachment headed for the White House had received the brunt of the marchers’ ire. But insults, jeers, and the occasional thrown debris or refuse weren’t enough to stop the UCAS Army. All detachments moved into their positions and reported their perimeters secure before dusk. It had all gone very smoothly.
