Given how fluid this situation is at the moment, I'm sure those papers will be sent to their units within a day or so
Oh boy.

Bragg Soldiers Who Cheered Trump's Political Attacks While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance, Appearance
As President Donald Trump viciously attacked his perceived political foes, he whipped up boos from the gathered troops directed at California leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom.www.military.com
“We are not going away,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Noem declared. “We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city.”
I'm not too sure about that. The Title 10 article under which Trump ordered these guardsmen/women to active duty includes this statement:
"Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States or, in the case of the District of Columbia, through the commanding general of the National Guard of the District of Columbia."
While my experience with US Army pers admin was very limited and long ago, my impression then was it made similar CAF processes seem almost invisible. After a quick look at AR 600-8-105 (the regulation prescribing policies and mandated tasks regarding military orders) and DA Pam 600-8-105 (describes the orders formats and their use in specific circumstances), it appears that any of the formats that may apply to order guardsmen to active duty under that specific title mandates including a statement to the effect that the individual is ordered to active duty with the consent of the Governor. There are formats that do not include a "Governor's consent" but they are for different circumstances.
The Governor of California has been very clear that he has not consented to use of the National Guard. I don't doubt that documenting the duty status of the guardsmen will eventually be accomplished. I am less confident that "those papers will be sent to their units within a day or so", especially since it's their units' responsibility to cut the orders.
Hopefully you were not unfortunately prescient.Watch and shoot.
A federal judge has ruled Trump’s federalization of the California National Guard illegal, but for failing to satisfy the required statutory preconditions, and as a violation of the 10th amendment. The temporary restraining order takes effect at noon tomorrow.
As in the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch???An interesting read. As I went through it I couldn't help but notice that several times the projectiles thrown at law enforcement were identified as ". . . fireworks, rocks and mangos . . .". No other fruit, vegetable or other comestible was listed as a weapon. Is there such an overabundance of mangos in Los Angeles that they are the grenade of choice or are they of particularly aerodynamic design that selection as a weapon is obvious? Will the unpleasantness in Los Angeles become known as the "Mango Melee".
As in the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch???
Did not expect that did you??

The USN needs Australia to get the AUKUS Boats.To add from up thread.
Trump at it again. In a lot of the commentary, replace Australia with Canada.
Australia must 'pay the price’ for betraying Trump on defence spending
Sky News host Andrew Bolt says Australia must “pay the price” for slapping Donald Trump around and refusing his demand to spend more on defence. Ties between Canberra and Washington have frayed as the Trump administration launches a review of the AUKUS deal after the Albanese government resisted requests to lift defence spending to 3.5 per cent of GDP. The Albanese government also provoked frustration from the Trump administration after its decision to sanction Israel—a move which the US publicly “condemned”. “The US defence department says it’s going to review our deal to buy the American nuclear submarines we need – critically need,” Mr Bolt said.
