Texas State Guard Commanding General Weighs In On Uniform Changes Under New National Guard Directive

In this clip, we speak with the new Commanding General of the Texas State Guard, Major General Roger O. Sheridan. The discussion focuses on the recent National Guard directive, CNGBI 5500.01, which outlines how the National Guard should interact with State Defense Forces. One of the key recommendations in the directive is for all State Defense Forces to adopt distinctive uniform changes—including red nametapes, red rank insignia, and a red baseball cap—to clearly differentiate them from National Guard troops. General Sheridan shares his perspective and discusses whether the Texas State Guard may implement such a transition in the future.
