[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

I read that the National Guard is under state control unless mobilized for a federal event (such as this), then they are under the feds.

If they fall under the fed, I assume the President can delegate this to whomever he chooses.

Who knows about the National Guard chain of command? Anyone?

[Jim Noble]

DC is not a State. The DC National Guard is authorized by Congress and commanded (at the moment) by President Barack Hussein Obama.

If they are going to stop Trump, the DC Guard is the tip of the spear.

[Mr. Lucky]

The Adjutant General of each state's guard is appointed by the Governor; while the Adjutant General of the DC guard is appointed by the President. No adjutant General is hired or fired by the Secretary of Defense.
