California State Military Reserve
The California State Military Reserve (CSMR) is the state defense force of California enumerated in 32USC109(c) and CMVC § 550. The military reserve provides California with a trained and organized military force in the event of a state security emergency when the National Guard is deployed (This statement conflicts with CMVC § 550 and implies CSMR has no mission unless the national guard is deployed. Need citation.). Note that the CSMR is a military entity authorized by both the State Code of California and Executive Order. The CSMR is the state’s authorized militia. Unlike the Civil Air Patrol or the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, each CSMR member is subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) per CMVC § 560. The CSMR comprises retired active and reserve military personnel and selected professional persons who volunteer their time and talents in further service to their state.
