That does not change a thing. Whether or not you agree, the ANG is NOT a part
of the active establishment until it is federalized and activated. Until that
time, they answer to their governors only, regardless of where the money for
their operations comes from.

Not strictly true- they follow the appropriate Regulations or
Instructions appropriate to their service and operational requirements.
In the Air Force these would be all of the appropriate Air Force
Instructions (AFIs).

In addition, they are inspected and evaluated under a program
which includes Guard and Reserve representation, but they are
inspected under the same standards as active duty units and
their inspection teams will have both active and non-active members.
