The proposal being evaluated now would allow the president to mobilize #troops & put them on #Title32 orders in a #state experiencing unrest. The documents detailing the plan acknowledge the potential for #political friction should the #governor refuse to work with the #Pentagon.
Some #legal scholars expressed apprehension about the proposal.
[I should think!]

#Trump has summoned the #military for #domestic purposes like few of his predecessors.
…#NationalGuard #troops can be mobilized for federal missions inside the #US under two main authorities. The first, under #Title10, puts troops under the president’s direction, where they can SUPPORT law enforcement activity but not perform arrests or investigations.

The test followed months of unrest in cities across the country, prompted by the #police murder of #GeorgeFloyd, that spurred #NationalGuard deployments in numerous locations. #Trump, then nearing the end of his first term, sought to employ active-duty #combat #troops while #Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper & other Pentagon officials urged him to rely instead on the Guard, which is trained to address civil disturbances.

While most #NationalGuard commands have fast-response teams for use within their home states, the proposal under evaluation by the #Trump admin would entail moving #troops from one state to another.
The National Guard tested the concept ahead of the #2020election, putting 600 troops on alert in Arizona & Alabama as the country braced for possible #PoliticalViolence [but still somehow weren’t called up on #Jan6 till too late].

The documents, marked predecisional, are comprehensive & contain extensive discussion about potential societal implications of establishing such a program. They were compiled by #NationalGuard ofcls & bear time stamps as recent as late July & early Aug. Fiscal year 2027 is the earliest this program could be created & funded through the #Pentagon’s traditional budgetary process, the docs say, leaving unclear whether it could begin sooner through alternative funding.

The proposal, which has not been previously reported, represents another potential expansion of #Trump’s willingness to employ the #ArmedForces on #US soil. It relies on a section of US Code that allows the commander in chief to circumvent limitations on the #military’s use within the US.

Cost projections outlined in the documents indicate that such a mission, if the proposal is adopted, could stretch into the hundreds of millions of dollars should #military aircraft & aircrews also be required to be ready around-the-clock. Troop transport via commercial airlines would be less expensive, the documents say.

The plan calls for 600 #troops to be on standby at all times so they can deploy in as little as one hour, the documents say. They would be split into 2 groups of 300 & stationed at #military bases in Alabama & Arizona, with purview of regions east & west of the Mississippi River, respectively.
