    I’m completely ignorant of your countries armed forces split, but in theory, who are these guys supposed to fight against? Is it like people defending the king or something?

    In practice, is it hippies, black lives matter and people against genocide?

      Each State has its own National Guard. They’re used to protect the State, which usually means being deployed against rioters and that sort of thing. They also help out with labor during disasters like Hurricane Katrina. They can be activated by the US president and deployed overseas, but they’re usually used domestically by State Governors.

        Rioter and peaceful protests perhaps?
