I'll admit I'm not familiar with the source I linked. I'm sorta out of pocket right now so wasnt able to research much more than what's here. I'd love to see more info on this myself.Is there a link to a more believable source that might have more information on what is actually going on? Seems to me that the transition team wants to clean house and get rid of all political appointees asap, but they probably didn't think it through all the way. Having people stay on for a little while to ensure coverage after they tender their resignation makes a lot of sense to me, but what do I know.

The commanding officer of the DC National Guard is a presidential appointee. Like all other appointees, their job ends when a new president takes the oath of office. It is up to the new president how long any previous appointee remains in office. In Trumps case, it appears most if not all appointees will leave at or shortly after he is sworn into office. Nothing special here.
Except that historically they resign but serve until replaced. The Trump team wants every appointee gone the minute he's sworn in. This leaves countless posts unfilled.

Learn to read:
"It is custom that presidential appointees tender their resignations effective January 20, when a new president is sworn in, but usually many are asked to stay in their positions until they are replaced – especially those with highly sensitive jobs.
For example, the Trump transition team did not ask the two civilian heads of a little-known agency that is responsible for ensuring America's nuclear arms are secure, to stay in their posts. Those jobs will be unfilled the moment Trump is sworn in.
There appears to be a strong intention to ensure that no Obama appointees remain in place whatsoever. Overseas ambassadors often are either asked to stay or ask to stay until their children finish the school year. All those requests were denied outright by the Trump team, with no consideration for family needs."
So, this pretty much boils down to Trump being a petty dick.
Here's the source article linked in your link. It's slightly less biased that the one you linked to.http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovemen...on_day_as_his_troops_are_protecting_thousands

This falls into the category of draining the swamp.“I’m a soldier,” he said. “I’m a presidential appointee, therefore the president has the power to remove me.”
Trump's team has also ordered all politically appointed diplomats to leave their posts by Inauguration Day, breaking with tradition of allowing some ambassadors to stay on as their children finish out the school year.
