He really doesn't, though. The National Guard in a state has a commanding general. That's the guy who commands it and he reports up the chain of command in the federal government. The governor can request services if he is not otherwise busy.

An actual state militia is controlled by the governor. That's what you want.

The governor says "limit the damage". His people put out orders to protect the areas with the most to lose.

You're correct.
