Executive Order, National Guard Deployment Authority
A White House memorandum regarding Section 315 of Title 32 has shifted the authority to deploy Army and Air Force personnel as National Guardsmen from the President to the Secretary of Defense. This change allows for military personnel to be utilized in domestic capacities without a direct presidential order, potentially bypassing certain Posse Comitatus restrictions.
