10. Did they follow unlawful orders?

NG troops get moved around the country to respond to disasters, fight fires and assist with other community needs all the time.

In this case, they were stationed (a legal difference to deployed ) at bases in Chicago and Portland, and remained there, as their CO’s obeyed the court orders halting their deployment to the streets of those cities.

Perhaps you should do more reading, and less reacting - there have been numerous stories of both CO’s and enlisted troops saying they would not follow unlawful orders to commit violence against fellow Americans.
