The deployments were met with protests but little more than that and the sporadic vandalizing of US Army equipment or structures. The other four units would, by mid-April, have been deployed to Detroit, Pittsburgh, Miami, and New Orleans, all strongholds of either the Syndicalists or the Kingfish's populists. Once they were completed President Hoover ordered the raising of three proper infantry divisions, better equipped and trained than the militias were.
