The Florida State Guard (FSG) is the state defense force of the U.S. state of Florida. The FSG was created in 1941 to serve as a stateside replacement for the Florida National Guard while the National Guard was deployed abroad during World War II. The FSG is available to the governor of Florida whenever needed, but unlike the National Guard, the FSG is trained and funded by the state and therefore can not be federalized.[2] The FSG was reactivated in 2022 after the Florida legislature appropriated US$10 million in funding.[3]
State defense forces are authorized by the federal government under Title 32, Section 109 of the United States Code.[4] Twenty-three states, as well as the territory of Puerto Rico, actively maintain these forces.[5] Florida law also allows the creation of a state defense force, either as a full-sized force when any part of the National Guard is federally deployed, or as a reserve cadre of officers and non-commissioned officers regardless of National Guard deployment.[2]
Before the United States entered World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt instituted a peacetime draft, and federalized various National Guard units, including Florida's National Guard.[6] As a result, states which had previously counted on their National Guard to maintain peace, quell riots, protect against sabotage, or repel a potential invasion were given the alternative of creating their own state-level military forces under the State Guard Act signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on October 21, 1940.[7] In 1941, the Florida Legislature and Governor Holland created Florida Defense Force, later to be rebranded as the Florida State Guard.[8]
The purpose of the state defense forces, including the FSG, was to fulfil the National Guard's state obligations. This included guarding infrastructure, protecting against sabotage, calming riots, or aiding law enforcement. Although the mainland United States was never invaded during World War II, state defenses would have shared responsibility with the federal military and National Guard in defending American territory had an invasion occurred.
During the war, the First Air Squadron of the FSG regularly patrolled the coast of Florida, searching for German U-boats. The squadron was also used to assist in search-and-rescue missions.[8]
Membership during WWII was open to all Florida men aged 18 to 60. The commitment lasted for three years, although members who were eligible could be drafted into the federal military at any time.[8] Most of the members were veterans of World War I.[9] Members of the Florida Defense Force's air wing, the First Air Squadron, were required to either have a private pilot's license or have served in the military at least one year.[8] By 1943, the Florida State Guard numbered 2,100 Florida men in 36 units.[10]
Each county was able to organize its own unit so long as it could recruit at minimum fifty Florida men who met the qualifications required by the state.[8] By 1943, there were 63 separate units of state guardsmen organized. The FSG also maintained a separate air squadron, known as the First Air Squadron.[10]
Uniforms, surplus weapons, and other equipment were provided by the state of Florida.[8] Florida law also permitted the FSG to use National Guard armories and receive any surplus weapons and equipment offered by the Department of Defense.[2] The approximately 27 airplanes used by the First Air Squadron were privately owned by the fifteen individuals who piloted them; however, they were allowed to have "1st Air Squadron, Florida Defense Force" painted on both sides of the nose of each plane.[8]
The Florida State Guard was disbanded in 1947 after the Florida Army National Guard was released from Federal Active Duty.[8]
On December 2, 2021, Governor Ron DeSantis announced, in his $100 million budget for the Florida National Guard, that $3.5 million would be invested into reactivating the FSG. It would allow for training and equipment of up to 200 members.[11] In March 2022, Florida lawmakers proposed a budget which included $10 million for reactivating the Florida State Guard. The funding would allow for an enlistment of 400 enlisted troops and six full-time civilian employees.[3] The newly reactivated organization began soliciting applications from prospective employees in May 2022.[12] On July 1, 2023, the Florida legislature increased the size of the FSG to 1500 members.[13]
On June 14, 2022, Governor Ron DeSantis announced the reestablishment of the Florida State Guard as an emergency-focused civilian volunteer force and appointed retired Marine Corps. Lieutenant Colonel Chris Graham as director. On June 30, 2023, 120 New FSG Guardsmen were graduated from the Basic Operational Orientation Training Camp (BOOT Camp) at Camp Blanding, marking the Inaugural class of 2023 of the Florida State Guard, the first in 75 years.[14]
In September 2023, the Florida State Guard was deployed in response to Hurricane Idalia and provided assistance by delivering aid at resource pods across North Florida — its first deployment since its deactivation following World War II.[15]
On December 18, 2023, Flagler County approved the construction of a $10 million site designed for the training of the Florida State Guard and other governmental services known as "The Florida State Guard Regional Training Facility".[16]
On February 1, 2024, Governor Ron DeSantis announced the deployment of the Florida State Guard to the southern border of Texas with Mexico to support Texan officials in handling illegal immigration.[17] In late February Director Mark Theime confirmed that 5 members of the Florida State Guard were deployed to Texas and that the deployment of up to a platoon of 30 members was being considered.[18]
On March 13, 2024, it was announced by Florida's Governor that the Florida State Guard would take part in their State's response to the events in Haiti along with other government forces, being deployed to Florida's Southern Coast.[19]
Florida State Guardsmen currently wear Universal Camouflage Patterned Army Combat Uniforms (UCP-ACUs) as their primary working uniform. The Flag of Florida is worn on the right shoulder of the ACU, and the current Florida State Guard logo is worn as a patch on the left shoulder. The guardsman's surname or last name is on the right chest of the uniform, the name of the unit “FL State Guard”, is worn on the left chest, and the guardsman's rank is worn on the center of the chest. The Guardsman's last name and rank can also be seen on their hats also known as covers.
Florida State Guardsmen have also been seen wearing Tan T-shirts with black shorts. The T-shirts have either “State Guard” or “Florida State Guard” written on the back with black letters and has the Florida State Guard logo in black on the front. The shorts have the Florida State Guard logo on the front of them in white.[20]
The Florida State Guard as of July 2024 is divided into ground, naval, air units along with special response and leadership groups.[21]
