So title 32 for state funded deployment, I thought was disaster relief.
Depending on how you look at it maybe that was appropriate.
Copy and paste since i am lazy and don't feel like typing. Basically Title 32 can be used by States for state responses like disaster relief, fighting fires, but Title 32 can be used for Federal Missions while the troops remain under state control. (Like what occurred in DC, Border security missions, etc). Title 10 is true Federal Activation and under Federal Control. Governor of the state approves the use of state NG and releases them to Active Duty component for a specific length of time.
"out-of-state National Guard troops were there under the authority of
32 U.S.C. § 502(f)." in reference to the soldiers sent to D.C.
"When on duty, state National Guard troops can wear three different “hats.” The first, and most common, is “State Active Duty” (SAD) status, in which they are exercising state functions at the request of the state government and are generally governed by state law. For example, when Minnesota Governor Tim Walz mobilized the Minnesota National Guard to help restore order in Minneapolis in the midst of the protests and violence arising from the murder of George Floyd, those troops were there in their SAD capacity. This first “hat” is often described as “Title 32” status (a reference to that part of the U.S. Code that deals with the National Guard), but that’s incorrect. “Title 32” status is actually the
second “hat,” pursuant to which the state National Guard troops remain subject to state command and control but are used for
federal missions authorized by Congress—and, perhaps most importantly, are usually paid for
by the federal government.
Finally, the third hat, “Title 10” status, is when state National Guard units are “federalized” by the president of the United States pursuant to
one of the specific statutory authorities for doing so. Once federalized, National Guard troops come under the full command and control of the Pentagon—specifically the secretary of defense. In essence, National Guard troops become part of the federal military until and unless they are returned to state status."
