Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the only one with authority to mobilize the NG in DC the President? I read that Pence tried to call in the NG while people were in the Capitol, but was told he didn't have the authority to do so.
In DC, it looks like it's only the President. For the state levels of the national guard, each governor can call it up or the president can call it up for use in federal missions.
