§ 101 Military Governance Adoption Rules

This law says that any U.S. Congress rules about the Army, Air Force, Navy, National Guard, or Naval Reserve become the rules for the state's militia, as long as they don't clash with the state's own rights in its constitution.

Key Takeaways

  • •Federal military laws cover the Army, Air Force, Navy, National Guard, and Naval Reserve.
  • •These federal rules become the rules for the state's militia.
  • •They only apply if they don't conflict with rights the state keeps under its own constitution.

Example

The federal government passes a rule that all National Guard units must do a certain type of training each year.

Because the rule doesn't go against the state's constitution, the state's militia has to follow that training rule too.
