North Carolina State Defense Militia

North Carolina State Defense Militia

The North Carolina State Defense Militia (NCSDM) was reactivated by North Carolina Governor James G. Martin in February 1988.[1]

As a State Defense Force the NCSDM was distinct from the North Carolina National Guard in that they could not become a federal entity. All United States National Guard units can be federalized under the Militia Act of 1903.[2]

The NCSDM participated in operations for Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and members filled in for National Guard troops while they were deployed for the Persian Gulf War 1990–91. Other actions were during coastal storms and an outbreak of tornadoes in King, North Carolina.[3]

Joint Resolution 987 of the North Carolina General Assembly ratified 27 June 1995 honored the efforts and assistance of the members of the NCSDM and expressed its appreciation for the service that the members rendered to their respective communities, counties, and to the State of North Carolina.[3]

Activities of the NCSDM were temporarily suspended in April 1996 by the North Carolina Adjutant General. This temporary suspension is still in effect.
