FFS, who's the fucking idiot that told you that? Whomever it is they need to educate themselves. The National Guard can be called to federal service ANY TIME the federal government deems it necessary and requires their service. It does not require an agreement by the governor. anyone that tells you different is talking out their ass and doesn't know shit from shinola.Lively meeting this morning. Lots of good information.
1. Biden CANNOT nationalize the Texas Guard without express written permission of Gov. Abbot. Odds on that anyone?
Biden CAN invoke the Insurrection Act and send regular military. The only quick response unit the Army has is one Battalion of the 82nd Airborne. (18 hours from call up to on the scene.)
2. The Texas Guard consists of 1 Infantry Division with all ancillary support units. 1 Armored Brigade with support units. 1 Fighter Wing, 1 Attack Wing, 1 Airlift Wing with tankers and some ad hoc Special Warfare units.
I hope Biden's handlers don't do something stupid just to flex their muscles while hiding behind desks.
