The military helped to secure the White House during World War I, as it had during every previous American conflict other than the Spanish-American War. Armed soldiers in uniform stood at the gates of the White House Complex and patrolled the grounds. ; e4 x ?; V' @& S

After the armistice ending World War I, the Metropolitan Police detail once again assumed sole responsibility for buildings and grounds security. The size of the force remained at fifty-four, despite the return of peacetime conditions. As had always been the case, the police who guarded the White House were under the supervision of the Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police. The President had no direct authority over his own protectors. President Warren Harding decided to change this arrangement when he learned that the Metropolitan Police refused to assign its most qualified personnel to the White House detail.: @5 m5 h7 `( g+ S9 h# ^: D8 `
& F- L; o! ?) R- ]9 x C y& kThe start of World War II led to significant changes in White House security arrangements. In 1940, before the United States became a combattant, the unsettled conditions around the globe induced Congress to expand the White House Police Force to 80 officers. In 1942, after the United States entered the war, Congress authorized funds to increase the size of the White House detail to 140, but on a temporary basis. Because many Metropolitan Police and Park Police were being conscripted into the armed forces, Congress also eliminated the requirement that all White House Police Officers be drawn from these two entities. 4 }4 c! }2 Z3 N9 C
& l% E6 g6 i2 N+ } a+ O, SWith the advent of war, the military once again assumed a major role in protecting the White House Complex. Sentry boxes were constructed at regular intervals both inside and outside the fence and were staffed by a special detachment of Military Police. Furthermore, sentries armed with machine guns maintained a permanent presence on the roof of the Executive Mansion. Only when it became clear that the Allies would prevail did President Roosevelt order that the military guards be assigned elsewhere.

In 1947, as returning servicemen swelled the ranks of the Metropolitan Police and the Park Police, Congress restored the requirement that White House Policemen be recruited from these two entities. The temporary wartime enlargement of the White House Police Force ended, as Congress ceased appropriating funds for additional officers. Simultaneously, however, Congress increased the numerical limit on the permanent force from 80 members to 110.

In addition to its primary duties, the Marine Corps undertakes missions in support of the White House and the State Department. President Thomas Jefferson dubbed the Marine Band the "President's Own" for its role of providing music for state functions at the White House.[11] In addition, Marines guard presidential retreats, including Camp David,[12] and the Marines of the Executive Flight Detachment of HMX-1 provide VIP helicopter transport to the President and Vice President, using the call signs "Marine One" (when the President is aboard) and "Marine Two" (when the Vice President is aboard). By authority of the 1946 Foreign Service act, the Marine security guards of the Marine Embassy Security Command provide security for American embassies, legations, and consulates at over 110 State Department posts overseas.[13]% |4 l& M- n$ y5 I& ^.
