They will handle this but it will take three-to-four times as long as they only have two days a month to work this stuff. of course, there are full-timers who will pitch in but the Guard still has a high level of "good-buddy, jack-assery" within the ranks that will make your jaw drop.
Remember - this is a State issue (so far as criminal issues); the Guard is one of the last vestiges of federalism in this country. The feds don't have a say in this, unless a US Attny steps in under some Constitutional issue or concurrent jurisidictional violation.
I'll keep my ears peeled.

In Texas we have the TCMJ, it's almost a photo copy of the UCMJ. Our Honor Guards are on active duty under Title 32 for specific amounts of time usually 1 year and have to resubmit a packet every year to stay on. I'm pretty sure that the unit has one or two AGRs but that is what we do. Also, our JAG section has more Officers on full-time status than my whole BN, so dont bet on them dragging their feet. Especially with every swinging richard with eagles or better staring over their shoulder.
The good buddy, jackassery comment is completly accurate, I could write a book.
