Trump Authorizes Defense Secretary Mark Esper to Order National Guard and Reservists to Active Duty
Breitbart ^ | 3/28/20 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 03/28/2020 9:11:18 AM PDT by david1292

President Donald Trump has authorized Defense Secretary Mark Esper to order units and individual members in the National Guard and Reserves, as well as “certain Individual Ready Reserve members,” to active duty to augment forces in the coronavirus response, according to the chief Pentagon spokesperson.

“Today the President signed an Executive Order authorizing Secretary Esper to order units and individual members in the National Guard and Reserves and certain Individual Ready Reserve members, to active duty to augment forces for the effective response to the coronavirus outbreak,” said Jonathan Hoffman in a statement released late Friday evening.

The statement said that decisions about which individuals may be activated are still being reviewed.

“Generally, these members will be persons in Headquarters units and persons with high demand medical capabilities whose call-up would not adversely affect their civilian communities,” the statement said.

The statement said the Defense Secretary and Department of Health and Human Services would consult with state officials before “any potential utilization” of National Guard Reserve Component units under the executive order.

The statement said there is currently no projected number of expected activations, but the Pentagon can do so “as needed.”

“As this is a dynamic situation, we do not currently have a projected number of expected activations, but the Department is now fully authorized to make activations as needed. We will provide updates as they become available,” Hoffman said.

A great many cops, firemen, and emts are guardsmen, especially in NYC. Hopefully this call up takes note of that.

Another phrase to add to the “if I hear it once more, I’ll scream” group:

“This is the new normal”

Finish up my Individual Ready Reserve members 10 years already. I think those will be folks in the medical fields.

“Martial law coming? “

No.
This is a big deal. These kind of situations are why we have a national government and its capabilities.

Clever post there, Tom.

Must’ve taken you some time to correlate all those links.

They can only perform evictions of people who asked that question here on FR. ;)

Having read the proclamation, the public code concerning the recall to active duty of members of the Individual and Ready Reserve, and having received an e-mail from the G-1 of the Army asking for volunteers to return to active duty in medical and related admin specialties, I doubt if these soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen will be doing law enforcement.

If the Guard is being called up against enemy combatants, then we must wonder who are these enemy combatants?

Answer: anyone caught outside their home.

“Shoot on sight”.
