I have no hard facts to back this up, but it appears to me that the state National Guard is much more closely meshed with the federal units than they used to be and has current equipment. They seem to be called up for active duty much more frequently also. Why, in my state, the Air Guard actually has uniforms now instead of the cutoffs, sandals and T-shirts they used to wear.
