It sounds like a lawful order to me, to just retreat.
But there COULD be some form of emergency exigent issues that might take priority over a withdraw command, that would be a judgement call of the commander on the ground.
For example, if the national guard was in the middle of escorting some congressmen thru a hostile crowd and the withdrawal order came down, they probably would finish the mission instead of immediately withdrawing.
The national guard has to answer to the president, is the way I understand it ..
We are in a actual state of war declaration so Trump can take over control of any ans all NG troops anytime he wants.
I'm thinking we don't need to worry about the National Guard. Most of them will be with us.
That would be a mistake to assume those folks will ignore direct orders and do.. whatever.
Leavenworth is no joke.
