Who has the authority to approve activation of federal assets in inter-state National Guard operations when local resources cannot meet demand?

The Governor

The Adjutant General

The Secretary of Defense

The President

The President has the authority to approve activation of federal assets for inter-state National Guard operations when local resources cannot meet demand. National Guard units can operate under state control with the Governor and Adjutant General directing them for state missions. If the situation exceeds what a state can handle, the Governor can seek federal assistance, and the President can federalize National Guard units, ordering them under Title 10 authorities to deploy across state lines or to support federal missions. The Secretary of Defense carries out those orders in the field, but the legal authority to activate federal assets rests with the President.
