He still has command of other groups. Don't you guys also have a militia?
The NG actually is the militia. They're normally state level but can be called up to federal level for reasons that are currently being badly misused.
Apparently there is a State Guard in addition to the NG that is solely under the governor. It's no where near equipped to hold back a federal force. I guess the optics alone would hopefully be enough to stop Trump.
The State Defense Force is only a thing in some of the states, and an active unit in less than that. They're really not even a consideration in any defense strategy.
Well, if it's not to defend its citizens against kidnapping in your largest city, then they might as well get rid of it entirely.
