Governors are worried about a proposal that would see some Air National Guard members transferred in service of the Space Force without gubernatorial consent.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott strongly opposed a proposal that could shift members of the Air National Guard to roles in the Space Force without the consent of their respective governors. In a letter to President Biden, Abbott, who has clashed with the commander-in-chief on a number of matters, said the proposal is an 'intolerable threat' to the National Guard.
' The Republican governor argued the measure would sideline governors as the commander-in-chiefs of the National Guard in each state and U.S. territory. 'By departing from this sensible arrangement, and allowing the Secretaries to dismantle National Guard units on a whim, Legislative Proposal 480 would set a dangerous precedent,' he added.
