Although these duties are wholly federally funded, for all such duty, the National Guard remains under the command and control of the Governor
Title 10 - activated by the President, for a federal purpose, authorized by federal law, under federal control, at federal expense for national defense purposes at home or throughout the world and become indistinguishable elements of the federal military force. “Federalized” forces are under the exclusive control of the President and are beyond the access, control and supervision of the Governor, even when operating within the state.
