For more than 20 years, StateDefenseForce.com (Also known as The State Guard & Defense Force Council) has worked to inform the public, support the State Defense Force community, preserve its history, and advocate for the expansion and improvement of State Defense Forces across the nation.

This mission would not be possible without the generous support of our Patreon members.

Because of your continued support, StateDefenseForce.com is able to remain online, continue publishing the latest State Defense Force news, develop original articles, and produce programs such as the Commanders Briefing Podcast and Scuttlebutt Podcast. Your contributions help us research, record, edit, and publish content that educates the public, supports current service members, and brings greater awareness to the important role State Defense Forces play in serving their states and communities.

Your support also allows us to track State Defense Force legislation across all 50 states, report on those developments, and contact lawmakers to advocate for the creation of State Defense Forces in states where they do not yet exist. In states that already have State Defense Forces, your support helps us advocate for stronger benefits and support systems, including paid training, paid annual training, educational benefits, and other improvements through our Office of Government & Legislative Affairs.

Through your contributions, we are also able to help publish national policy recommendations on State Defense Force organization, training, uniforms, and administration through The State Guard Administration website. These efforts help provide guidance, structure, and ideas that can support stronger, more capable, and more professional State Defense Forces across the country.

Your support also helps preserve the history of these forces through The Center for State Defense Force History. This work ensures that the legacy, missions, sacrifice, and heroism of those who served in State Defense Forces are never forgotten or lost to the sands of time.

Every Patreon member, regardless of tier, plays an important role in making this mission possible. Whether you have supported us for years or recently joined, your contribution helps keep this effort alive and moving forward.

We thank these members who have contributed so much so that we can push the mission of The State Defense Force nationwide to ensure every community, every state in our country has men and women ready to respond to any emergency.
