The legal answer is "His State's Borders".  Assuming the Federal
Government doesn't need us at the time (Supreme Court case in 1990
settled this--Federal orders take priority over state), then the
National Guard can be deployed on the Governor's orders anywhere in his
state.	Unfortunately for him, this means he has to pay us out of State
funds.	Most states can't afford to do this for an extended period of
time (Drill pay, Annual Training, and Federal mobilizations, we get paid
out of the same funds teh Real Army is), so it kind of limits what he
can do other than in a real emergency.
