So this doesn’t apply?

State Active Duty (SAD)

The Governor can activate National Guard personnel to “State Active Duty” in response to natural or man-made disasters or Homeland Defense missions. SAD is based on State statue and policy as well as State funds. Soldiers and Airmen remain under the command and control of the Governor.

The National Guard is under the direction of the state's governor unless the President federalizes the Guard. Then the Guard reports to the President.

A good example is when Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy federalized National Guard units in the Southern states to enforce integration, rather than enforce segregation, as the governors of Arkansas and Alabama intended.

The National Guard and the Air National Guard are components of the Federal Reserves subject to the orders of the Federal commander-in-chief when on Federal active duty, but they are also subject to orders of the Federal commander-in-chief under certain limited circumstances established by decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS).

State Defense Forces were supposed to be a state military or naval force which cannot be commissioned into Federal service like the Natonal Guard or Air National Guard, but the SCOTUS decisions still permit the Federal commander-in-chief to command the State Defense Forces under the Constitution’s provision for the President to command the militia operating in active state service and not active Federal service.

See the Wikipedia articel about State defense force:
