In Season 2, episode 18, there is a scene of a meeting with the president, joint cheif of staff(bald actor, Mike) and various other military people. The president states he wants the U.S Army to be on standby to control panic, but Mike says they can't do that. The president says its because of something he says in Latin. I assume this is a legal thing forbidding the Army to do that. Mike even states that the proper people to do this is the Navy or the Marines. Why is that?

In a state of national panic (ie violence, looting, riots) why wouldn't the Army be called upon to not do this?
