Original Note:
Many states have local State Guard military units. Some are volunteer forces, while others like Texas are paid. The current Florida proposal is somewhat ambitious in the authority and materials it seeks to grant the unit, but is not otherwise unique or unlawful. https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/gov-desantis-wants-to-expand-state-guard-to-more-than-triple-in-size/ https://www.flgov.com/2021/12/02/governor-ron-desantis-announces-military-budget-proposal-to-guard-floridas-future/ https://dmna.ny.gov/nyg/ https://tmd.texas.gov/state-guard https://stateguard.cmd.ca.gov/public/
