Guards secure White House entrances and sensitive areas during crises. They stand watch in the Outer Oval Office as President Bartlet consoles families of captured Marines. In the Mural Room, they open doors for Leo McGarry and Debbie during updates on Delta Force rescues and retaliatory bombings that killed 17 Americans. Outside the White House at night, they open doors over their shoulder view and escort Speaker Glenallen Walken and Cabinet members down stairs and corridors to senior staff—Josh, C.J., Toby, Leo, and Will—outside the Oval amid invocation of the 25th Amendment. Their actions enforce access control and protocol under grief, relief, and political upheaval.
