(b) Federal service in response to a call or order of the president in time of declared national emergency when such service is not voluntary.
(c) Voluntary active duty in the service of the United States by members of the state military establishment, not in response to a call or order of the president in time of declared national emergency, shall be considered as active service only when such duty is in support of a national guard mission.
