States could activate tens of thousands of National Guard troops in the coming weeks to tackle the CCP virus pandemic, predicted the head of the reservist arm of the U.S. military.

National Guard Bureau Chief Gen. Joseph Lengyel also said he advises against federalizing the reservist force, saying it should instead be kept under local state control.
