About The State Guard & Defense Force Council

We are dedicated to the development of State Guards & State Defense Forces throughout the nation.

We are a NonProfit Organization.

We are not a 501(c)(3) yet, we are in the process of attaining this status.

Our goals include facilitating awareness to the public of the existence and mission of the State Guard & Defense Forces, as well as providing a central news & informational resource hub for State Guard & Defense Force troops on the internet. We will accomplish this mission by working hand in hand with State Guards & State Defense Forces so that they may continue to support, assist and augment The National Guard.

Before Proceeding. Please read the following

State Guards & State Defense Forces are the same organization. According to United States Code, Title 32, Section 109, the United States authorizes the States to organize and maintain a ‘defense force’, but even though States refer to their ‘defense forces’ as State Guards, State Defense Forces, Military Reserve, etc. they are still considered ‘defense forces’ in the eyes of the United States.

The State Guard & Defense Force Council traces its history back from October of 2005. We originally were known as Home Guard Armory with the same purpose and mission as StateDefenseForce.com, to provide the latest news and information of State Defense Force training, events & missions.

In 2008 we changed the name of our organization to StateDefenseForce.com. We made this change so we can provide easier access to State Defense Force news and content.

In February of 2021, we published our first podcast, Commanders Briefing, where we sit down with the Commanding Generals of the State Defense Forces / State Guards. Since then we had on numerous guests from State Defense Force Generals to the NY National Guard Adjutant General (TAG).

In March of 2021, we unveiled our State Defense Force Online Store. We wanted to provide an avenue where State Defense Forces can get access to State Defense Force / State Guard Apparel & Accessories. Since its inception we have partnered with the Maryland Defense Force to be their official merchandiser.

Going into the future, we intend to continue to provide these amazing services.

In October of 2022, The State Guard & Defense Force Council became a registered as a NonProfit Organization.
