US Military are forbidden by law to do EL duty in the States except under a declared national emergency.

The problem with Katrina was that the local and state government waited to long to declare an emergency. The Feds have to wait for the State to ask for assistance.

US soldiers are more that capable of taking care of lawlessness in foreign countries. It just takes RoEs that allow that.
