§ 280 Naval Militia Rules Application

This law says that most of Chapter 3 of the state's military code also applies to the Naval Militia, using the same rules as the National Guard but with some word changes.

Key Takeaways

  • •Chapter 3 rules apply to the Naval Militia.
  • •The word “Naval Militia” replaces “National Guard”.
  • •The word “Navy Department” replaces “War Department”.

Example

A member of the Naval Militia gets ordered to report for training and is told they must follow the same rules as the National Guard.

Because the law says Chapter 3 applies to the Naval Militia, the member must obey the training and conduct rules from that chapter, just like a National Guard member would.
