Lousiana and Mississippi? If not, why not? Because they don't want to do the "two callup" thing to some of these Guardsmen so they will still be available for Iraq?

A worthy question. I've asked it in posts, and been ignored.

I suspect nobody knows, or wants to know.

I have heard that the Louisiana "active" units were largely overseas, but that this is only about a third of the LA NG.

I'd expect some to have evacuated, and be unavailable.

The rest ... no clue.
