such facilities, and applications for their use
should be made to him. In addition, he is
responsible for the administration, training,
and supply of approximately 8,000 National
Guardsmen, including 1,020 full-time em-
ployees (170 State-paid and 850 Federally-
paid).
In time of war or other national emer-
gency when the National Guard is absent
from the State, the Governor, as Comman-
der-in-Chief of the militia, has the power
to organize the Maryland State Guard. Such
forces are separate and distinct from the
National Guard and are composed of offi-
cers, commissioned or assigned, and all able-
bodied male citizens of the State who
volunteer and are accepted for service.
Members of the State Guard are uniformed
as prescribed by the Governor, who also has
the power to reduce or disband such forces
when deemed necessary.
