[/quote] The Army National Guard is the combat arms (entire divisions) component of the Army reserve system. The name is misleading. Payroll for NG soldiers comes from the Department of Defense--as does all equipment and munitions. NG units are under the control of their home States until activated. If the concerned units are not activated by the Federal Government, they could be withdrawn by governors. This is another little situation that could be remedied by the declaration of a national emergency. [/quote]

(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom plans Monday to withdraw several hundred National Guard troops from the state’s southern border with Mexico in defiance of the Trump administration’s request for support from border states.
About 100 of the 360 troops will remain deployed under California’s agreement with the federal government to focus specifically on combating transnational crime such as drug and gun smuggling, Newsom spokesman Nathan Click said. Specifically, they will be tasked with providing intelligence on transnational crime and assist with cargo dock operations and searches of commercial trucks for contraband.
Newsom’s move comes on the heels of New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, also a Democrat, pulling back her state’s troops from the U.S.-Mexico border. The two state’s former governors agreed to send troops to the border last April at the Trump administration’s request along with Texas and Arizona.
