The State Guard & Defense Force Council — also known as StateDefenseForce.com — is made possible through the generous support of our Patreon members. Their contributions help sustain our operations by covering hosting and domain expenses, as well as supporting our dedicated staff who deliver daily updates on State Defense Force news, events, and missions. Thanks to their backing, we are able to research and share legislative updates that keep members informed about new benefits, policy developments, and organizational changes across the nation.
Their support also enables us to engage directly with state and federal legislators to raise awareness about the vital role State Defense Forces play in safeguarding communities. Through these efforts, we collaborate with the Congressional Research Agency on potential federal legislation aimed at enhancing integration between State Defense Forces, the National Guard, and U.S. military components during natural disasters and statewide emergencies.
Additionally, our Patreon supporters make it possible for us to produce programs such as the Commanders Briefing podcast, where we interview State Defense Force Commanding Generals and National Guard Adjutant Generals to provide insight into leadership perspectives, missions, and the future of State Defense Forces across the country.
