State shall consist of every resident able-bodied citizen of the United States
who is seventeen years old or older and under forty-six years of age and all
other able-bodied residents of that age who have declared their intention to
become citizens of the United States.  The militia shall be composed of four
classes:



(1)  The federally organized and recognized national
guard,



(2)  The remainder of the organized militia to be

militia, or the state defense force.  The unorganized militia shall be subject
to active military duty only when called or ordered into the service of the
State for such period as is required.  They may be assigned to existing
organizations of the Hawaii national guard, the naval militia, or the state
