But I parse that “shall” to mean the Governor is forced to comply.

Under what penalty if the governor refuses to comply?

The constitution grants the authority for appointing national guard (“militia”) officers to the state. The governor hires those officers; the governor can fire those officers and disband their units rather than accept federalization.
