Here is a Business Insider article on the dismissal.
It certainly is strange.
“A memo announcing the removal of Maj. Gen. Errol Schwartz obtained by The Washington Post says the 65-year-old general will be out of a job at 12:01 p.m. on January 20. Schwartz confirmed the memo to The Post and said he would retire at that time but that did not know the reason for his dismissal.”

In any case, doesn’t authority fall to his executive officer?

From the link you posted...
“Business Insider attempted to contact the National Guard Bureau for comment but reached a recording on the press number that directed journalists to call another number, which had a recording directing callers back to the previous number.
The DC National Guard website does not list any contact information.”
HMMM... The most transparent administration ever?
Trump/Pence = drain the swamp!
