More than 8,100 members of the U.S. National Guard have been mobilized across the U.S. to help communities deal with the coronavirus. 'When we're not fighting wars for our nation...we protect our communities,' said the chief of the National Guard Bureau.
In some states, they're moving supplies and people. In California, they're working at food banks; in Arizona, some members are restocking shelves.
Individual governors have wide discretion on how to use the guard members in their individual states. Can you explain how that is preferable to a more coordinated federal response with the National Guard? And people have studied disaster response — it doesn't matter whether it's a hurricane or flood or fire — people that have studied how this works. The response is always better when the experts on the ground at the point of the emergency are making decisions on how to apply resources and allocate people and equipment and funds, so that you can get quicker the resource you need to fix the problem.
