Posse Comitatus Act is what I'm thinking of which ecologically forbids it. It was expanded beyond the Army to basically every military branch.

> Sec. 15. From and after the passage of this act it shall not be lawful to employ any part of the Army of the United States, as a posse comitatus, or otherwise, for the purpose of executing the laws, except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress;
