State Active Duty - activated by the Governor for a state purpose authorized by state law. The Guard is employed at state expense as provided in the state constitution and statutes

Title 32 - In accordance with Title 32 U.S. Code, § 502 (f) (1), the National Guard may be ordered to perform “other duty” to respond to domestic emergencies or other needs. This authority has been employed to provide airport security, to protect the borders, and to respond to natural disasters. Although these duties are wholly federally funded, for all such duty, the National Guard remains under the command and control of the Governor

Title 10 - activated by the President, for a federal purpose, authorized by federal law, under federal control, at federal expense for national defense purposes at home or throughout the world and become indistinguishable elements of the federal military force. “Federalized” forces are under the exclusive control of the President and are beyond the access, control and supervision of the Governor, even when operating within the state.
