He may not need the Governors ok to call up the Nat'l Guard in a Nat'l Emergency. If we think we are actually at war, declared or not, he could use the war powers act. to call up the N.G. But that is just a wild guess on my part.

If they don't currently have jobs, this is a safe move to put more folks on the government payroll. AD military is on a stop movement order and practicing reduced manpower and essential personnel only in many cases... seems ironic.

Good move on his part. The N.G., Res. (both Air and Army) can make a big contribution, especially those with needed medical MOS's. Also retired members of all branches with similar medical backgrounds. Added to the mix, consideration to engineers and transportation units. Logistics
is everything if you are considering how we move people, medical supplies and other equipment
to where they are needed the most. By air and ground.
