Never thought of that angle of it. The governor only can deactivate a Guard base. That is going to get interesting.

Thing is, the feds own the equipment the units use. So in the case of Willow Grove's planes, the feds can take those planes as they see fit, since the state doesn't own them. In most of the BRAC recommendations, many of the units are losing their mission and planes, but the units are being left in place to take another mission, or similiar. The Guard can keep their state base, but once the mission is gone from there, I wonder if the federal funding will still come, assuming the mission isn't replaced. So in a sense, the feds are well within their bounds to do some of what they're doing, since the individual states fon't own their own air force.
