The troops of the State Defense Force must follow and uphold the same standards and behavior as the Army National Guard & Air National Guard of the State. State Defense Force troops must follow the orders of their NCO’s and Officers appointed over them otherwise they may face legal ramifications, including jail or prison. State Defense Force troops cannot just quit their job while on State Active Duty, they must follow any order given to them by the Adjutant General, National Guard, or the Officers appointed over them. We believe this is crucial for a State Defense Force to be an effective force especially during a State emergency.
