What about USC Title 10? Posse Comitatus?
Oh, never mind, what the heck am I thinking? This regime doesn't follow any laws.

“What about USC Title 10? Posse Comitatus?”
He is wanting to use National Guard troops. Unless placed on “federal” active duty, they stay Title 32 and are NOT subject to posse comitatus. So, this is a backdoor way of getting “semi-federal” military for long term use on American soil.
What is really gauling is how they take ARNG troops from one state and use them in another. I can halfway see them retaining Title 32 status when acting within the state where they, more or less, belong to the governor. However, when they leave their home state, how can they still be considered Title 32?
The Katrina mess opened this up. Most of Lousiana’s ARNG troops were in a title 10 status and over in Iraq when Katrina hit. So, other ARNG troops from other states were used. It really is pushing the envelope.
Because of the high tempo of operations during Iraq and Afghanistan, the differences between Regular Army and ARNG became blurred with ARNG units mobilized to Title 10 status so they could reinforce the Regular Army.
