Marc Matthew Mason of Post Falls, Idaho wrote a bill for Idaho to amend the current militia codes in Idaho. United States code chapter 32 section 109 allows a state to create a military force separate then there state national guards Marc says.
State defense forces (SDF; also known as state military, state guards, state militias, or state military reserves) in the United States are military units that operate under the sole authority of a state government and do not follow orders from the federal government or the department of defense only the state governor. These state defense forces can’t be called into federal service of the United States armed forces.
The bill was introduced to the state military division by Idaho Republican Representative Sage Dixon. Idaho lawmakers were very open regarding the bill however was turned down due to debates over funding of the state defense force.
Representative Dixon says he will look further into the creation of a state guard and the budget to form a military state reserve in Idaho.
