§ 214 National Guard Designation Protection

• •If the National Guard is away on duty, their name is protected.
• •No new groups can use their exact name during that time.
• •This rule helps avoid mix-ups or fake groups.

If the California National Guard is deployed overseas, a new local group can't call itself the 'California National Guard' while they're gone.

The law stops new groups from using the same name to avoid confusion or pretending to be the real National Guard.
