Ch. 5

2003 LAWS OF MARYLAND

(D) INSPECTIONS.

A UNIT OF THE ORGANIZED MILITIA SHALL BE INSPECTED:

(1)    BY AN OFFICER DETAILED FOR INSPECTION DUTY, WHENEVER THE
GOVERNOR CONSIDERS IT ADVISABLE; AND

(2)      BY AN OFFICER OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY OR AIR FORCE, AS
PROVIDED BY FEDERAL LAW OR REGULATION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 65, § 26.

In subsection (c) of this section, the reference to an enlisted "individual" is
substituted for the former reference to enlisted "men". See General
Revisor's Note to title.

In subsection (d)(1) of this section, the former reference to "the judgment
of" the Governor is deleted as redundant of the requirement that the
Governor act whenever the Governor "considers it advisable".

In subsection (d)(2) of this section, the reference to the "Air Force" is added
to conform to 32 U.S.C. § 105, which requires the Secretary of the Army to
have inspections of the Army National Guard conducted, and which
states: "The Secretary of the Air Force has a similar duty with respect to
the Air National Guard".

Also in subsection (d)(2) of this section, the reference to "federal law or
regulation" is substituted for the former obsolete reference to the "National
Defense Act".
