The Guard is in a Title 10 status only for annual training (the two weeks a year), when mobilized by Presidential orders, or when nationalized (as in the Arkansas desegregation crises in 1957). During inactive duty training (the weekend a month) and state mobilization (natural emergencies or GQP governors sending the guard to the Texas border to hold back the brown-skinned horde ), the Guard is under Title 32.

It's an odd system. TomSlick May 2022 #5

I really should try harder. TexasTowelie May 2022 #6

It's a rather esoteric issue. There are a host of issues that make a better claim on your attention. TomSlick May 2022 #7
