Actually the courts have allowed for the use of National Guard as long as they are funded by the State and not the Federal Government thus avoiding the the issue of the federal government using federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States. Posse Comitatus only specifically applies to the United States Army and, as amended in 1956, the United States Air Force. While the Act does not explicitly mention the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps, the Department of the Navy has prescribed regulations that are generally construed to give the Act force with respect to those services as well. The Act does not apply to the National Guard under state authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within its home state or in an adjacent state if invited by that state's governor.
