National Guard Clarification

 

in response to this >>12548424 (pb)

 

According to this https://archive.is/SCJwL and backed up by this https://www.nationalguard.mil/About-the-Guard/Army-National-Guard/About-Us/

the National Guard serves a dual role, carrying out both state and federal missions.

For state missions, the governor commands Guard forces. The governor can call the National Guard into action during local or statewide emergencies, such as storms, fires, earthquakes or civil disturbances.

In addition, the President of the United States can activate the National Guard for participation in federal missions, and did so in Kosovo and the Middle East, for example.

 

But I was wondering: who (the governor or the President?) has the overriding power over the NG. In other words: what happens if both activate the same NG at the same time: whose call to action do they follow, if both parites oppose each other?

 

This is clarified here:

https://www.nationalguard.mil/About-the-Guard/Army-National-Guard/About-Us/Federal-Mission/

DURING PEACETIME each state National Guard answers to national leadership, but

DURING NATIONAL EMERGENCIES, it is THE PRESIDENT who reserves the right to mobilize the National Guard, PUTTING THEM IN FEDERAL DUTY STATUS.

While federalized, the units answer to the Combatant Commander of the theatre in which they are operating and, ultimately, to the President.

 

So if I get this right: all those blue states deploying the NG to DC under the pretext of the fake Capitol Siege lose control over those troops the minute the President federalizes them. They cannot possibly this stupid ???
