Approximately 350 Louisiana National Guard service members are mobilizing in Federal Title 32 status through the end of February 2026, remaining under the command authority of Governor Jeff Landry and Maj. Gen. Thomas Friloux, the Adjutant General of Louisiana. They will begin to support law enforcement in New Orleans shortly after Christmas.


As the AP article correctly (and in limited fashion) says, "coordinating the deployment".

In other words, LA summons up LA National Guard and the feds "coordinate" while the guardsfolk ultimately remain under their previous command.

Even NPR got this one right this morning.
