re: #241 Decatur Deb

DC has an NG, but it lacks a governor to act as CinC/boss of the Adjutant General. It gets complicated.

The DC Guard is under control of the President.

The president of the United States is the commander-in-chief for the District of Columbia National Guard. Command is exercised through the Secretary of Defense and the commanding general, Joint Force Headquarters (JFHQ), District of Columbia National Guard.

And that’s why the DOD refused to send them.
