Title 10, Title 32

Title 10 of the U.S. Code primarily governs the organization, responsibilities, and authority of the U.S. Armed Forces, including active-duty military personnel and operations. It reflects the military's federal statutory framework. Title 32 also pertains to national defense but focuses on the roles of National Guard units when they're under state authority, including training and support activities. When National Guard units are called into federal service, they operate under Title 10. Essentially, Title 10 covers federal military authority, while Title 32 relates to state-controlled National Guard activities.
