Remember back in 2020 during the Floyd riots, and we thought the President needed the permission of the Governor to allow for NG deployment into a State?
Good times.
@GenFlynn said this was going to be a BIG lesson in civics.

What was the purpose of Title 10?
The purpose of Title 10 of the United States Code, enacted in 1956, is to provide a comprehensive legal framework for organizing, governing, and operating the U.S. armed forces. It establishes the structure, roles, and responsibilities of the Department of Defense and the military branches (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, and Coast Guard when under DoD). Key objectives include:
Defining the chain of command and authority within the military.
Outlining the powers and duties of the Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and service secretaries.
Regulating military personnel management, including recruitment, training, promotions, and discipline.
Served my country in the 80s-90s. Proud husband and father. Always asking questions. Looking for the truth.
Establishing rules for the activation and deployment of active-duty, reserve, and National Guard forces.
Providing legal guidelines for military operations, funding, and resource allocation.
Title 10 ensures a unified, consistent, and legally binding system to maintain national defense readiness and operational efficiency.
When was title 10 brought in.
Title 10 of the United States Code was enacted into law on August 10, 1956, as part of the codification of federal laws governing the armed forces. It organizes and defines the roles, structure, and operations of the U.S. military, including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, and Coast Guard (when operating under the Department of Defense). While some provisions existed in earlier laws, the 1956 codification consolidated and formalized them into the current Title 10 framework.
