How does the National Guard work, and how do they decide what emergencies they are equipped for– or should be equipped for? Why is it separate from other branches?
Edit:. Does anything change when the U.S. gets a different president?

The President is the wartime Commanderin-Chief, but inormal times, the NG is under the authority of the Governor of the state they’re based in. In special circumstances, NG units can be “Federalized” by the President for limited purposes. As far as training and equipping, NG units train with their active military counterparts regularly, are similarly equipped, and perform a multitude of combat, combat support, and especially combat service support (e.g., logistics, medical) functions.
