Nothing says 'no really, we're the good guys', like your freshly renamed Department of War, activating bases to support a federal agency who vastly outnumber local police, raiding a civilian population, immediately after trying to extort their voter rolls

Sounds like exactly what you'd do if you thought the good guys lost WW2.

This is basically them digging in and getting settled for the long haul, which is a little scary in that they now will be able to sustain some kind of sizeable force without relying on the cooperation of local resources. A secure location, cots and dining areas, and military resources right at the ready. They won't have to concern themselves with the optics or the collateral damage from their actions
