Where are you getting your info on how overseas bases run?! MPs deal with the general day to day security of bases with a station of marines (no smaller than a squad.) on hand for serious issues. National Guard, usually only call themselves National Guard when guarding the 50 states.

Ok, so, no, Nat gaurd deploys all the time overseas under Federal Title 10 missions.

I incorrectly assumed they would be stationed on bases as base security.

But their title when deployed isn't national guard.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What is their title then?

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

MP, Marine, staff Sargent, lieutenant, corman...

No. I mean you said they are no longer "National Guard" when they deploy overseas. What do they become?
