Alabama State Defense Force
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Alabama State Defense Force (ASDF) is a military entity authorized by both the State Code of Alabama and Executive Order. The ASDF is the state’s authorized state defense force and assumes the state mission of the Alabama National Guard in the event the Guard is mobilized. The ASDF is composed of retired, active, and reserve military personnel and selected professional persons who volunteer their time and talents in further service to their state.
During Fiscal Year 1997, the role of the State Defense Forces was significantly expanded to include active assistance to state and local Emergency Management offices during emergencies. The Commanding General of the ASDF is appointed by and answers directly to the Adjutant General.
