32 U.S.C. § 328 — Active Guard and Reserve duty: Governor’s authority

(a) Authority — The Governor of a state (or of Puerto Rico, Guam, or the Virgin Islands), or the commanding general of the D.C. National Guard, can — with the consent of the relevant Secretary — order a National Guard member onto Active Guard and Reserve duty, as defined in 10 U.S.C. § 101(d)(6), under section 502(f) of this title. (b) Duties — A member on this kind of duty can also perform the extra duties listed in section 502(f)(2), as long as that doesn't get in the way of their main job: organizing, administering, recruiting, instructing, and training the reserve components. (c) Waiver Authority — (1) Even though section 101(d)(6)(A) of title 10 and subsection (b) above normally limit the job to that reserve-component work, the Governor (or D.C. commanding general) can — at the Secretary's request — order a member onto this duty specifically to train the regular armed forces as their main job. (2) That training must follow the rules in section 502(f)(2)(B)(i). (3) No more than 100 people can get this waiver from a Secretary at one time. (4) This waiver authority ends on October 1, 2024.
