[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 1853036, member: 18914"] Actually I think that you have it reversed - the Reserves are always Federal and thus, as a rule, ineligible to perform domestic police duties by which I mean detaining citizens or making arrests wellness checks (such as going door to door after a major flood) are not law enforcement. The Guard is different (as we like to say in the regular forces) in that [B][I]until Federalized[/I][/B] they may freely take part in LE duties as a State force but upon being Federalized may have to refrain from such duties. An example, would be the Los Angeles riots when the Guard was purposely kept under the Governor's control so that they could continue to serve as police surrogates. Posse Comitatus is not monolithic and Congress has amended the law but basically law enforcement is still an in extremis only duty for U regular military or Federalized Guard or called up Reserves.
