The Army National Guard (ARNG), in conjunction with the Air National Guard, are the primary United States federal and state military reserve force. They are simultaneously part of two different organizations, the National Guard of the Several States, Territories and the District of Columbia (also referred to as the Militia of the United States), and the National Guard of the United States. The Army National Guard is divided into subordinate units stationed in each of the 50 states, three territories, and the District of Columbia, and operates under their respective governors.〔(Military Reserves Federal Call Up Authority )〕 ==Activation== The Army National Guard as currently authorized and organized operates under Title 10 of the United States Code when under federal control, and Title 32 of the United States Code and applicable state laws when under state control. The Army National Guard may be called up for active duty by the state or territorial governors to help respond to domestic emergencies and disasters, such as those caused by hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes, as well as civil disorder.〔 The District of Columbia Army National Guard is a federal militia, controlled by the President of the United States with authority delegated to the Secretary of Defense, and through him to the Secretary of the Army.〔National Archives and Records Administration, (Executive Order 11485—Supervision and control of the National Guard of the District of Columbia ), October 1, 1969〕 Members or units of the Army National Guard may be ordered, temporarily or indefinitely, into the service of the United States.〔(10 USC 12211. Officers: Army National Guard of the United States )〕〔(10 USC 12107. Army National Guard of United States; Air National Guard of the United States: enlistment in )〕 If mobilized for federal service, the member or unit becomes part of the Army National Guard of the United States, which is a reserve component of the United States Army.〔(32 USC 101. Definitions (NATIONAL GUARD) )〕〔(10 USC 12401. Army and Air National Guard of the United States: status )〕〔(10 USC 10105. Army National Guard of the United States: composition )〕 Individuals volunteering for active federal service may do so subject to the consent of their governors.〔North Atlantic Treaty organization, (Fact Sheet, National Reserve Forces Status: United States of America ), 2006, page 1〕 Governors generally cannot veto involuntary activations of individuals or units for federal service, either for training or national emergency.〔National Guard Bureau, Today in Guard History (June), (June 11, 1990 ), 2013〕 (See ''Perpich v. Department of Defense''.) The President may also call up members and units of the Army National Guard, in its status as the militia of the several states, to repel invasion, suppress rebellion, or enforce federal laws.〔(10 USC 12406. National Guard in Federal service: call )〕 The Army National Guard of the United States is one of two organizations administered by the National Guard Bureau, the other being the Air National Guard of the United States. The Director of the Army National Guard is the head of the organization, and reports to the Chief of the National Guard Bureau. Because the Army National Guard is both the militia of the several states and a federal reserve component of the Army, neither the Chief of the National Guard Bureau nor the Director of the Army National Guard "commands" it. This function is performed in each state or territory by the State Adjutant General, and in the District of Columbia by the Commanding General of the District of Columbia National Guard when a unit is in its militia status. The Chief of the National Guard Bureau and the Director of the Army National Guard serve as the channel of communications between the Department of the Army and the Army National Guard in each state and territory, and administer federal programs, policies, and resources for the National Guard.〔Cornell University, legal Information Institute, (10 USC § 10503 – Functions of National Guard Bureau: Charter ), accessed June 20, 2013〕 The Army National Guard's portion of the federal budget for Fiscal Year 2015 is approximately $14 billion, including appropriations for personnel pay and allowance, facilities maintenance, construction, equipment maintenance and other activities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Army National Guard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
