From your #1601

“...General Hokanson: “Actually - um - all the.. the soldiers that are here - and airmen - are on federal orders um under title 32 um they remain under the command and control of their governor but they’re paid by the federal government and they’re under the control of General Walker as the D.C. Guard Commanding General while they’re here.”

Would this mean the various state guards were federalized?

Then under what situations could they be federalized?

The IA?

The answers at the presser on that were very confusing. General Hokanson clearly said Title 32. That means they get Federal Pay and are being used as backup for SS, Capitol Police and DC Metro Police. He says "they remain under the command and control of their governor" but they're "paid by the federal government and they're under the control of General Walker as the D.C. Guard Commanding General while they're here"

Then he also states the Chain of Command, which goes to the acting Sec of Def (sold to China "ABlinken" as Pompeo joked in a tweet if you recall)

The Acting Sec of the Army stumbled all over himself in this. I think the presser is a must watch personally. Mot might find it boring, but its VERY interesting for an anon.

yes
does not have to be IA
1. They are operating outside of their respective states
2. DC is federal territory
