It's the Governors from every state.
It ain't a military decision - it's a jobs/money decision.

It is bullshit is what it is. From a purely operational standpoint, it is the difference between tasking and asking. AF leadership can task active duty forces whereas they have to ask the Guard. In my experience, at least in AMC, asking the Guard usually turns into tasking the active duty because the guard won't support. All of the force shaping in the past couple of years was done on the back of the active duty and the ANG now has the nerve to call foul?
