AN ACT relating to the Wyoming national guard; providing legislative findings; prohibiting the release of the Wyoming national guard into active combat as specified; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Defend the Guard Act, prohibits the release of the Wyoming National Guard into active combat unless the U.S. Congress has officially declared war or explicitly called forth the National Guard for specific purposes under the U.S. Constitution. The bill also requires the Governor to take necessary actions to comply with these requirements. However, the bill does not limit the Governor's ability to consent to the deployment of the National Guard for defense support or civil authority missions within the United States and its territories.
