Good morning -
The National Guard was not in a federal capacity in relation to the Boston Marathon Bombing. I recommend that you make a State Open Records Request pursuant to Massachusetts State Laws. It appears in the State of Massachussets, the Office of Public Safety manages the State National Guard requests for records involving state missions. I found this website (http://www.mass.gov/eopss/consumer-prot-and-bus-lic/license-type/public-record-requests-faqs.html) which may be helpful for you to make a request under their state laws.
No action has been taken on this request as it does not pertain to a federal action. If you are not satisfied with this action, you have the right to appeal to the appellate authority, the Director of Administration, Office of the Secretary of Defense, by writing directly to:
OSD/Joint Staff Freedom of Information
ATTN: Appeals Office
1155 Defense Pentagon
Washington, D.C. 20301-1155
Your appeal must be postmarked within 60 calendar days of the date of this response.
If you have any questions you may contact me at (703) 601-6884 or by e-mail, NGB.FOIA@mail.mil.
