b. Is the channel of communication between the Departments of the Army and the Air Force and the several states on all matters pertaining to the National Guard, the Army National Guard of the United States, and the Air National Guard of the United States.

1-6. Special relationships

a. States. The Army National Guard of the United States and the Air National Guard of the United States are reserve components of the Army and the Air Force, respectively. Members of the Army National Guard of the United States and of the Air National Guard of the United States are not in active Federal service except when ordered thereto in accordance with law, or called into active Federal service in their status as members of the National Guard. When not in active Federal service, such members are administered, armed, equipped, and trained in their status as members of the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard of the several states ( sections 10107 and 10113, title 10 , United States Code (10 USC 10107, 10113)).

b. Command jurisdiction.

(1) The Governor of each State, Guam, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands is the Commander in Chief of all Army and Air National Guard units not in active Federal service within his or her jurisdiction. Command is normally exercised by an adjutant general or other designated military official of the State, Guam, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands.

(2) The President of the United States is the Commander in Chief of the National Guard of the District of Columbia. Command is exercised through the Secretary of Defense and the Commanding General of the District of Columbia National Guard, as provided in Executive Order No. 11485 , 1 October 1969 (34 FR 15411). The Secretary of Defense has delegated his command authority to the Secretary of the Army with respect to the District of Columbia Army National Guard and to the Secretary of the Air Force with respect to the District of Columbia Air National Guard by a memorandum dated 10 October 1996.

1-7. History of the National Guard Bureau

The Constitution and Bill of Rights made specific provision for continuing a militia as a military force. Following the establishment of the Federal Government in 1792, the militia remained under complete control of the States until congressional enactment of the Dick Military Act in 1903, which made the Federal Government responsible for their training, equipment, and pay. The administrative burden placed upon the War Department by that legislation led to the creation of a type of bureau agency to administer militia affairs. With the support thus provided, the militia developed into sufficiently well-organized and uniformly trained units to permit, under the National Defense Act of 1916, as amended, the necessary alignment with the Regular Army and Federal recognition of the militia of individual states as a composite National Guard. During 1916, the antecedent unit of the present-day Air National Guard was formed. Its separate status as a component was later brought about by the National Security Act of 1947. With the creation of the separate components, the National Guard Bureau continued as a Bureau of the Department of the Army, and it became an agency of the Department of the Air Force to perform similar functions and duties for that Department. The Department of the Army Reorganization Act of 1958 designated the National Guard Bureau as a Joint Bureau of the Department of the Army and the Air Force. The Reserve Officers Personnel Management Act (the Act), dated 5 October 1994, reaffirmed that there is in the Department of Defense the National Guard Bureau, which is a Joint Bureau of the Department of the Army and the Department of the Air Force, and directed that the Secretaries of the Army and the Air Force jointly develop and prescribe a charter for the National Guard Bureau covering the matters set forth in the Act. (See fig 1-1 .)

Figure 1-1. National Guard Bureau Charter ________________________________________

Figure 1-1. National Guard Bureau Charter-Continued ________________________________________ Chapter 2 National Guard Bureau Mission and Charter 2-1. Mission The mission of the National Guard Bureau is to-- a. Participate with the Army and the Air Force staffs in the formulation, development, and coordination of all programs, policies, concepts, and plans pertaining to or affecting the National Guard, the Army National Guard of the United States, and the Air National Guard of the United States. b. Develop and administer such detailed operating programs as are required for the operation of the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard, based on approved programs, policies, and guidance from the Department of the Army and the Department of the Air Force. c. Participate with and assist the several states in the organization, maintenance, and operation of their National Guard units so as to provide trained and equipped units capable of immediate expansion to war strength, and available for service in time of war or emergency to augment the Active Army and Air Force. 2-2. National Guard Bureau Charter Section 10503, chapter 1011, title 10, United States Code ( 10 USC 10503 ), directed the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of the Air Force to develop a charter for the National Guard Bureau. This has been accomplished with the cooperation and assistance of the National Guard Bureau and the Army and Air staffs. The charter, which prescribes the duties and responsibilities of the National Guard Bureau, is at figure 1-1 and is a part of this regulation. 2-3. Governing regulations when not in active Federal service a. Army regulations and Air Force instructions. Army regulations and Air Force instructions govern the National Guard not in the active Federal service in the same manner as they do the regular components, when such regulations or instructions have been made applicable to the National Guard. Specific applicability is indicated in departmental regulations and instructions. b. Army National Guard regulations and Air National Guard instructions. Army National Guard regulations will be based on Army policies fully coordinated with HQDA, approved by the Chief of Staff, United States Army, and issued by order of the Secretary of the Army. Air National Guard instructions will be issued subject to the approval of the Chief of Staff, United States Air Force, and issued by order of the Secretary of the Air Force. These regulations or instructions are binding on the National Guard and on all agents of the Active Army and Active Air Force in the same manner as Army regulations and Air Force instructions. Joint Regulations may be issued when the subject matter is applicable to both the Army and Air National Guard, with the approval of both the Department of the Army and the Department of the Air Force. c. Other National Guard publications. The Chief, National Guard Bureau will issue such other publications as necessary, provided that such publications are consistent with approved policies of the Secretary and Chief of Staff of the Department concerned. Such publications may cover areas of operation not fully clarified or detailed in departmental publications. They will be binding only upon the Army or Air National Guard, as appropriate. d. Comparative status of National Guard and Air National Guard regulations and Army and Air Force regulations. National Guard and Air National Guard regulations are issued by the authority of the Secretary of the Army and Secretary of the Air Force, and they therefore carry the same force and effect as Army and Air Force regulations. 2-4. Legal opinions The legal opinions rendered by the Office of the General Counsel, Department of Defense; Office of the General Counsel, Army; Office of the General Counsel, Air Force; Office of the Judge Advocate General, Army; and the Office of the Judge Advocate General, Air Force are applicable to and binding upon the National Guard Bureau and the Army and Air National Guard of the United States to the same extent as those legal opinions are binding upon the Department of Defense, Department of the Army, and Department of the Air Force.
