The "Defend the Guard Act" is a federal bill that aims to restrict the deployment of National Guard troops overseas without a formal declaration of war by Congress. The main provision of the bill requires that any deployment of National Guard units outside the United States must be authorized by Congress through a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization. This legislation seeks to ensure that National Guard troops are not sent into combat situations without proper constitutional approval. If passed, this bill would have a significant impact on how and when National Guard units are deployed internationally, emphasizing congressional oversight and adherence to constitutional procedures in such decisions.
