State Consent for National Guard Duty within US Borders

New rules require the consent of a state's governor or the Mayor of the District of Columbia for the National Guard to perform full-time duty within their jurisdiction for operations requested by the President or Secretary of Defense. This ensures local authorities have a say in how the National Guard is deployed in their area, potentially affecting responses to domestic crises and operations.
Key points
Requires consent from the state's chief executive or DC Mayor for certain National Guard duties within their jurisdiction.
National Guard operations are subject to the Posse Comitatus Act, limiting military involvement in civilian law enforcement.
