SUBTITLE 1. DEFINITIONS.

13-101. DEFINITIONS.

(A) IN GENERAL.

IN THIS TITLE THE FOLLOWING WORDS HAVE THE MEANINGS INDICATED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language used as the standard
introductory language to a definition section.

(B). DEPARTMENT.

"DEPARTMENT" MEANS THE MILITARY DEPARTMENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to avoid repetition
of the full title "Military Department".

(C)  MARYLAND DEFENSE FORCE.

"MARYLAND DEFENSE FORCE" MEANS THE MILITARY FORCE ESTABLISHED
UNDER SUBTITLE 5 OF THIS TITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from the third sentence of former Art. 65, § 62, as it
applied to the name of the Maryland Defense Force. Although the reference
in former Art. 65, § 62 did not apply specifically to the entire article,
because the other references in this title are consistent with this
definition, no substantive change results.

(D)     NATIONAL GUARD.

"NATIONAL GUARD" MEANS THE MARYLAND ARMY NATIONAL GUARD AND
MARYLAND AIR NATIONAL GUARD.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 65, § 15(a).

The references to the "Maryland" Army National Guard and the
"Maryland" Air National Guard are added for clarity.
