26-124. Service by members of unorganized
militia; volunteers during emergency; enrollment; selection;
organizing selectees
A. When the governor proclaims an emergency, and, upon advice of the adjutant
general, determines that the national guard does not have sufficient troops to meet the
emergency, the governor may authorize the adjutant general to accept for service from the
unorganized militia a specified number of volunteers.
B. If the governor deems an emergency of a nature that all or a large portion of
the unorganized militia should be called into service of the state, he shall by
proclamation order all members of the unorganized militia to enroll with the county
recorder of the county in which they reside. The enrollment shall be in triplicate
stating the full name, residence, age, occupation and previous service of each person
enrolled. The rolls shall be verified by the enrolling officer who shall retain one copy
and file one copy with the adjutant general and one with the clerk of the superior court
of the county in which the person is enrolled. The persons called into service shall be
determined by lot in accordance with a plan devised by the governor and implemented by
him. The plan shall be patterned upon the latest selective service act of the United
States and executive orders of the president issued to implement the law.
C. Upon mobilization for state purposes members of the unorganized militia shall be
organized under the command of the officer the governor designates into units comparable
to units of the national guard.
