Secretary of Defense Mark Esper broke with his superior, President Trump, this week saying he opposes using the US Military against the violent far left mobs in cities across the United States.
Via WGN Esper told reporters the Insurrection Act, which would allow Trump to use active-duty military for law enforcement in containing street protests, should be invoked in the United States only in the most urgent and dire of situations. He declared, We are not in one of those situations now.

For a week now leftists, looters, thugs and Black Lives Matter have destroyed and torched businesses and government buildings across the country.
Now this
Secretary Esper ordered the National Guard troops sent to Washington DC to NOT carry any guns or ammunition.
Esper also ordered all active-duty troops out of Washington DC.
Esper reportedly made this order without consulting the White House.
Secretary Esper is now putting National Guardsmen in danger.

Root Boy Slim was the first person to scale the White House wall, in the '70's when Jimmy Carter was prez, as recounted in this song.
He was also thrown out of a Princeton fraternity by George W. Bush.
Then Carter lost the election in '80. Donnell's gonna lose too, like Jimmiah & Poppy Bush.

10 U.S.Code #7894.Art.94:
Any person subject to this chapter who with intent to usurp or override lawful military authority, refuses in concert with any other person, to obey orders or otherwise do his duty or creates any violence or disturbance is guilty of Mutiny.
Esper has disarmed the NG, forcing them to wear soft hats instead of helmets, subjecting them to violence by Antifa. This Deep Stater is working in concert with the Mayor of DC who canceled their hotel stay, forcing them to sleep on parking lots. She defaced 16th ave. with bright, yellow paint to support Black Lives Matter/Antifa terrorists.
AG Barr subsequently swore into service the NG soldiers from FloridA, 53RD. Infantry Brigade Combat Team declaring them now US Marshals. This puts the Brigade under his authority and removes them from Espers authority.

The US Constitution & Oath of Office supersedes the statute you quoted.
Esper is law abiding Oath-Keeper, the president is a scofflaw who violates his Oath of Office & the US Constitution every day.
