Just what are the various state National Guard units doing during this Corona-Virus Disease-2019 pandemic?  Incomplete list of news links.

U.S. Defense Secretary said that state governors have the option of using the National Guard to enforce stay-at-home orders.

17,250 National Guard mobilized for COVID-19 response, 10 states, 2 territories and DC on Title 32 status

“Federal authority over National Guard members falls under Title 32 of the U.S. Code. This is considered federal active duty for specific state missions and full-time Guard positions. This type of state-level activation is guided by state laws and policies, but it is funded by the federal government after approval from the president. This typically happens with large-scale, state-related missions: major natural disasters, for example. The governor is the boss even though the state mission is sanctioned and funded by the federal government.”–Title 10 vs. Title 32 vs. the State
