The reality is there are already thousands of Air and Army Guard members doing Space Force work, without a corresponding Guard organization to manage recruiting, training, and promotion. Space Guard is a no brainer, and hopefully the new Congress takes it up (after approving more Ukraine aid).

Do you really understand the status differences of a National Guard unit and how that works with an active duty-type mission. As a retired ANG officer who worked numerous years trying to “train” active duty folks on the differences, I am concerned that either the active component will continually run into status issues, or the NG Space folks will “ignore” the status differences and just do the mission. This is a problem the alert forces really ran into after 9-11, for example.
