3-20. Not all individuals wearing a military-type uniform are part of the Army. Twenty four states have a state defense force, organized under a separate provision of Section 109(c) of Title 32, USC. Many of these units wear standard military-type uniforms that are indistinguishable from standard Army uniforms except for patches and state name tapes. A state defense force may be a state organized defense force, a state guard, or even a named militia unit. However, these are not Army National Guard forces, although they usually are the responsibility of the state's adjutant general. They are always under the governor's authority. Members of a state defense force cannot be federalized. State defense forces may conduct law enforcement missions consistent with state laws and orders by their governor. In some states, the defense force has law enforcement authority similar to credentialed law enforcement officials. State defense forces may be on scene, operating in the same areas as National Guard units conducting National Guard civil support and federal Army units conducting DSCA.
