That's oftentimes the way that the military handles things...This is a story from Military.com. The president deployed the guard without the governor's permission and is trying to make them work for free.
Guard Soldiers Deployed in Trump's LA Crackdown Aren't Getting Paid Yet
The 4,000 California National Guard soldiers who President Donald Trump surged into Los Angeles remain unpaid due to delays in issuing official activation orders, leaving compensation and benefits in limbo.
According to more than a dozen Guardsmen across four units who spoke to Military.com, none has received formal activation orders, the critical paperwork that not only authorizes their duty status, but also unlocks pay, Tricare health benefits and eligibility for Department of Veterans Affairs services. Without those orders, troops remain in a legal and administrative limbo.

Get the boots on the ground quickly, where they're needed, and bat clean-up on the paperwork once the dust settles...
I have zero doubt that those boys-and-girls are going to get every penny and every benefit that are due to them...
