National Guard budget comes out of what pot?

[ganulv]

I’m trying to make some sense of the “Costs of war” report recently released by the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown. I was wondering if anyone one the board is able and willing to help me understand what the individual states pay for and when and what the federal government pays for when in relations to the Guard. I would assume the answer is baroque, so feel free to simplify.

Amongst other things, I am curious as to whether governor as commander-in-chief vs. POTUS as commander-in-chief means anything as far as who is paying for what.

As always, much appreciated,
Matthew
