    Where are you getting your info on how overseas bases run?! MPs deal with the general day to day security of bases with a station of marines (no smaller than a squad.) on hand for serious issues. National Guard, usually only call themselves National Guard when guarding the 50 states.

      Well, the detachments of Marines are at the Embassies, usually each branch handles their own security at their own bases. They can and do call up their local MSG det from time to time, but their[MSG] responsibility is the Embassy, the classified info held at those Embassies, and their personnel. National Guard outside the US is usually a supplement to whatever federal branch is running things wherever they get deployed.

      Ok, so, no, Nat gaurd deploys all the time overseas under Federal Title 10 missions.

      I incorrectly assumed they would be stationed on bases as base security.
