Introduced Text

Montana HB404 requires congressional action to release Montana National Guard for active combat duty.

Montana HB404, known as the "Defend the Guard Act," mandates that the Montana National Guard cannot be deployed to active combat duty without an official congressional declaration of war or specific congressional action. The bill outlines that the Montana National Guard may only be released for active duty combat if the United States Congress has either declared war or taken an official action to call forth the Montana National Guard.
