national guard; active duty; requirements
SB 1047 requires Arizona's National Guard to remain within state boundaries for active combat duty unless authorized by specific federal actions. It prohibits deployment for combat without a formal U.S. congressional declaration of war or authorization under the Constitution's power to "execute laws," "repel invasion," or "suppress insurrection." The bill defines "active duty combat" as participating in armed conflicts, performing hazardous duties in foreign states related to conflicts, or using instruments of war. The governor must ensure compliance with these requirements before any deployment.
