US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has ordered the immediate federalization of 200 members of the Oregon National Guard for a period of 60 days. This directive was issued on Monday, September 29, 2025.
The decision to federalize the National Guard members comes amid ongoing discussions regarding their deployment and operational readiness. This action aligns with previous reports concerning the mobilization of state military resources for federal service.
For further context, similar situations have arisen in the past, such as when the Secretary of Defense called up 200 Oregon Guardsmen for Federal Service. The implications of this federalization are yet to be fully understood, but it marks a significant step in the utilization of National Guard forces.
As developments unfold, additional information may be released regarding the specific roles and missions of the federalized troops.
