FILE - In this Dec. 31, 2018, file photo, members of the Nevada National Guard stand at a roadblock on a road leading to the Las Vegas Strip during a New Year's celebration in Las Vegas. State and federal officials are finalizing details of the role Nevada's National Guard will play in the statewide response to the coronavirus, but they're emphasizing the mission won't include enforcing martial law. The governor has activated the National Guard each New Year's Eve since the 9/11 terrorist attacks to help patrol the Las Vegas Strip. Nevada's Guard regularly is deployed overseas, but the most recent non-New Year's activation within the state was March 2017 when 140 troops responded to flooding north of Reno and President Trump approved federal disaster funding, similar to what's expected to occur now, said 1st Lt. Emerson Marcus, the Nevada Guard's historian. (AP Photo/John Locher, File)
