Authority to Deploy the National Guard

Section 502 of Title 32, U.S. Code, provides the authority for the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of the Air Force to call National Guard units to active duty under Title 32 status for training purposes. It also permits individual members to be called to active duty to perform training “or other duty in addition to” the mandatory training described earlier in Section 502.

Title 32 authority under Section 502(f) was also used for Operation Jump Start and Operation Phalanx, discussed above.

Although National Guard members did not engage in direct law enforcement activities during these two border security operations, it is possible that states might consider giving them that authority in future operations.

As a matter of statute, other duty under Section 502(f) may also include “homeland defense activities.”

Such activities are statutorily defined to mean activities undertaken for the military protection of the territory or domestic population of the United States, or of infrastructure or other assets of the United States determined by the Secretary of Defense as being critical to national security, from a threat or aggression against the United States.

At this point- “ laws” mean nothing. “ Lawlessness “ swings both ways- Go Texas!…senile Joe’s lawless administration has some surprises ahead- they will be stopped.
Texas, and Americans have had enough.

Except the State Guard and the National Guard are not the same thing. The webpage is very clear to differentiate between the two.
