re: Given that it is entirely unconstitutional to deploy the MIL on US soil, what gives?

I’m not that familiar with the NG so please correct me if I’m wrong, but the weird part is how the “deployment” is from many relatively small units from around the US. Couldn’t they have accomplished this with fewer, larger units? It’s almost like every state has a delegation

Given the number of NG troops deployed, it is not uncommon to see it done in a manner like this. Also, the Lead Federal Agency requests capabilities, not specific units then the capabilities are filled accordingly...

Under the existing compacts a governor may have an MP Battalion in his/her State but would only be willing to offer an MP Company considering the current state of deployments and the need to keep some capabilites at home...
