They do now in TLWverse. They are pre-war units.

Some time back I had some conversations with Louie about @ late Cold War proposals to expand the National Guard in some states. Given population shifts in the United States toward the southwest and west, it made sense. Then I got sidetracked with other things. I'm coming back around to it now.

I haven't added them to the main US Army ORBAT yet. Consider those two units a preview.
