Ideally 2 guys up to a squad so they don’t get surprised by cartel Hitmen.

fireteam*

Fire team is usually 4 to 5 with team leader

Isn't nat guard both state and federal?

But if within effective range and visibility they dont have to be next to each other to watch their backs

I always heard a fireteam was 2 people that could do staggering advance or cover and retreat at bare minimum

the ol' wiki says 2-4 tho

No national guard is a state force. It can be requested to activate by the feds. But the state has to accept and the fed pays the state for it

You could argue a "fireteam" is minimum 2 yes. But most "teams" in a squad are 3 to 4 with a team leaderm squads are 2 to 3 teams, platoons 3 to 4 squads so on

When national guard goes to say basic and ait training. The state pays the fed for the costs

I have to convince people national guard is State every time. I guess national part confuses people.

But you may thinking of the Army Reserves. Those are federal but with almost a national guard setup. "1 weekend a month 2 weeks a year"

Yea

Probably the fact state guards aid each other a lot doesnt help either

IE washington state guard went to Luisianna after katrina

Make America white agian

I think me might be off his tits on something. Like strong weed.

@franti who the fuck is this brainlet

@Angus use napalm, and as long as you’re not using it on people you should be good for war crimes and it’ll be a lot more time efficient than .50s

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki Washington State guard isn't even a part of the US military, fyi

They're a humanitarian militia of sorts

The washington state national guard?

No, the State guard lol

Oh i was meaning the states national guard

oh, yeah sorry

They were sent to katrina to aid

there could be good old constant artillery going off randomly within the US border all along the mexican border

random explosions deter people

@Angus

why not just mine the border

that'd probably work better

but I really like the idea of constant explosions

for 2000 miles

5 minutes, randomly selected every day

@Angus too costly in terms of ordnance and logistics

I think the artillery corp needs some target practice

oh, if it's only for 5 minutes

but then after that five minutes, people would know it's safe

so I'd recommend using airdropped/artillery deployed mines

@Angus also much of the border is habitated

and then not shelling the area, so that you don't set off the mines that are already there
