Defense - Georgia National Guard - Misc. Files
Scope and Contents
The Georgia State Guard was originally organized in 1940 under the name of the State Defense Corps by authority of Federal Act ML 1939, Sec. 1323, as amended by Act of Oct. 21, 1940 (Sec. 1, Bill No. 36, WD 1940). It was later changed to Georgia Defense Corps by a proclamation of the Governor on April 16, 1941, and organized in three divisions: the State Guard Units; the Georgia Military Police, and the Air Patrol Service. An Act of March 5, 1943, created the Georgia State Guard, which was to function during such time as the Georgia National Guard is in active Federal service. This series consists of various records concerning the Guard. Included are: (1) early draft cards; (2) duty rosters; (3) requisitions; (4) correspondence; (5) station logs; (6) property reports, and (7) related material.
