re: Ron DeSantis to recommend Re-Establishing the Florida State Guard

The Florida State Guard (FSG) is the currently inactive state defense force of the U.S. state of Florida, which was active during World War II. The FSG was created to serve as a stateside replacement for the Florida National Guard while the National Guard was deployed abroad. Unlike the Florida National Guard, the Florida State Guard was trained and funded by the state and therefore could not be federalized and was available to the governor of Florida whenever needed. Although the force was disbanded,Florida law allows the governor of Florida to create and maintain a Florida state defense force should he decide to do so.
