Operative words
Governor Greg Abbott today activated the Texas National Guard to be prepared to assist with response efforts for COVID-19. This preparative measure will ensure that the Texas National Guard can assist in various forms throughout the state when needed. Healthcare workers and first responders who are members of the Texas National Guard are excluded from this activation so that they can continue serving the people of Texas in their respective fields.
Enforcement
Orders to State active duty under Tex. Gov't Code ch. 437
Notes
The exclusion of health-care workers and first responders from the activation is itself a workforce-allocation measure.
