'DeSantis Proposes Resurrecting World War II-Era Force That Doesn't Answer to Washington, DC

[Western Journal] Rather than relying upon the shaky reed of federal support from the Biden administration, Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is proposing the restoration of a WWII-era force to protect the state.

DeSantis is calling for the return of the Florida State Guard, a civilian volunteer force that will assist the National Guard, according to a release posted on the governor’s website.

DeSantis is seeking $3.5 million in his upcoming budget to establish the force.

According to the release, the Florida State Guard would enhance "emergency response efforts in the event of a hurricane, natural disasters and other state emergencies."

The funding would support training for those who join, the release said.

#4 Prior to the legislation in the early 20th Century, the militia (and the nascent national guard) had do be requested by the President from the governors. If you look back at the American Civil War, it was filled with numbered units of the states not the regular army.
