"I'm not going to answer particulars on something that may be in the planning process, but we definitely do have multiple layers of National Guard response forces, whether it's in each state, whether it's regionally, whether it's Title 10 active duty, whether it's Washington D.C. We've got a lot of different ways that constitutionally and legally we can employ Title 10 and Title 32 forces, and we will do so when necessary."
"In coordination with the respective adjutants general, the Secretary of Defense shall designate an appropriate number of each State's trained National Guard members to be reasonably available for rapid mobilization for such purposes. In addition, the Secretary of Defense shall ensure the availability of a standing National Guard quick reaction force that shall be resourced, trained, and available for rapid nationwide deployment."
Multiple layers of National Guard response forces are being organized, including state, regional, Title 10 active-duty, and Washington D.C. elements, with constitutional and legal options to employ Title 10 and Title 32 forces when necessary. An executive order directs immediate measures to ensure each state's Army and Air National Guard are resourced, trained, organized, and available to assist federal, state, and local law enforcement in quelling civil disturbances and ensuring public safety and order as appropriate under law. The order calls for designating trained members for rapid mobilization and establishing a standing National Guard quick reaction force resourced and trained for rapid nationwide deployment.
