5-4. Border Security Operations (BSO)
a. Thirty-nine of the fifty-four states and territories with National Guard forces possess a land and/or sea
territorial border. As such, National Guard border security-related activities occur on a regular, although typically
temporary basis.
b. Key to National Guard border security operations is the support provided to LEAs in the detection of
transnational threats desiring entry to the homeland by land, maritime, or air conveyance along the northern,
southern or maritime borders. Additional support activities include, but are not limited to: training, technical
support, services, intelligence analysis, surveillance, the installation of communications towers, permanent and
temporary vehicle barriers, and pedestrian fences.

c. The NGB Border Security Operations (BSO) Branch serves as the NGB’s channel of communications
between federal, state and local authorities participating in border security law enforcement operations; monitors
domestic border-related activities; works with interagency partners on related matters; and develops future initiatives
that support the National Guard and its role in border security/homeland security, and homeland defense operations.
10-3. Title 32
a. Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution authorizes the National Guard to operate under state control but in the
service of the Federal Government. This provision for state forces to operate in the service of the Federal
Government is unique to the National Guard and is codified under the authority of Title 32 U.S. Code. When
conducting domestic law enforcement support and mission assurance operations under the authorities of Title 32,
National Guard members are under the command and control of the state and thus in a state status, but are paid with
federal funds. Under Title 32, the Governor maintains command and control of National Guard forces even though
those forces are being employed “in the service of the United States” for a primarily federal purpose. Chapter 9 and
Section 502(f) of Title 32 provide specific guidance related to “homeland defense activities” and “other duty”
missions, enabling Governors access to federal funding for domestic missions including law enforcement support
and mission assurance operations.
Just have to get Homeland security to ask for assistance and tell the states we will fund more then just the use of your troops.
