Lawton, OK – According to the state officials, the letter reads, in part: <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor over a century, Title 10 and Title 32 of U.S.C. have upheld gubernatorial authority over the National Guard. National Guard assets are critical components of states\u2019 and territories\u2019 responses to crises. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Governors must maintain full authority as Commanders in Chief of these assets to protect operational readiness and America\u2019s communities.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Legislation that sidesteps, eliminates or otherwise reduces Governors\u2019 authority within their states and territories undermines longstanding partnerships, precedence, military readiness and operational efficacy. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

This action also negatively affects the important relationships between Governors and DOD at a time when we need to have full trust and confidence between the two to meet the growing threats posed by the era of strategic competition as well as natural disasters.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
