Шаблон:Infobox government agency The California Military Department is an agency defined under the California Military and Veterans code § 50. It includes the California National Guard (Army and Air), California State Guard and the Youth and Community Programs.

The California Military Department and the California National Guard are sometimes referred to interchangeably.

Adjutant General of California

The Adjutant General (TAG) is the commander of all State of California military forces and is subordinate only to the Governor.[1][2] TAG is:

  • Chief of Staff to the Governor
  • A member of the Governor's cabinet
  • Vested with the duties and responsibilities of the Division of Military Affairs
  • Head of the Military Department, and responsible for its affairs, functions, duties, funds and property.[3][1]

In the 1850 law establishing the California Militia, the office of Adjutant General was separate from that of Quartermaster General. In 1852, the two offices were consolidated when William H. Richardson resigned and Quartermaster General William Chauncey Kibbe became Adjutant General.[4]

Adjutants General have included:

Office of the Adjutant General

The Office of the Adjutant General (OTAG) is enumerated in CA Military & Veteran's Code § 161 (recently amended by SB807 on 9/17/12) [7] and consists of:

  • The Deputy Adjutant General (DAG)
  • Assistant Adjutant General, Army (AAG Army)
  • Assistant Adjutant General, Air (AAG Air)
  • Chief of Staff and Director, Joint Staff (CoS/Dir. JS)
  • and others as prescribed by laws or regulations of the United States

California National Guard

The department's Sunburst Youth Academy is run by the California National Guard.[8]

California Cadet Corps

The California Cadet Corps (CACC) is a paramilitary youth organization in California open to students in the college, high school, middle school and elementary school grades.

Established through statute in 1911, it has trained more than a million young people. It is one of five budgeted youth programs of the CMD. The California Military and Veterans Code (MVC Section 517) authorizes CACC units as part of all regular schools, for all children in the state. The CACC is a statewide, school-based, applied leadership program conducted within a military framework. Its primary goal was originally to prepare young men to be officers in the United States military, after Brigadier General Edwin A. Forbes saw that the Germans already had such programs before World War I. The program's goal has since expanded not only to prepare young men and women for military service, but also for the business world, where communication and leadership skills are essential.

The CaCC's current objectives are to:

  • Develop leadership, citizenship and patriotism
  • Promote academic excellence
  • Encourage personal health and wellness
  • Teach basic military subjects

These expanded goals provide personal growth and leadership opportunities for cadets from middle school through high school levels. Activities include summer encampments, field training (including land navigation), marksmanship, and military drill competitions.

The development and maintenance of the CACC's individual units is a shared responsibility of the local school authorities and the CMD. Commandants must be credentialed by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and appointed by the Adjutant General.

In accordance with Sections 509–512 of the California Military and Veterans Code, the CMD is responsible for providing uniforms and equipment, developing curriculum, and conducting state level competitions, activities, and awards programs for the cadets. The CMD provides in-service and pre-service training for adult commandants and volunteers across the state. The CMD is also responsible for issuing state orders for officers and enlisted personnel and updating Commandant and Cadet Regulations.

The CACC program is offered through the school as a component of its school mission and curriculum. The CACC military science class can be taken as an elective, or for credit as a substitute for physical education—a decision each school or district makes based on the course of instruction provided, the instructors' credentials, and the alignment of the curriculum with state standards. California State Content Standards in health, science, physical education, social science, language arts, English language development, and mathematics are embedded in the CACC curriculum's content and activities.

The CACC serves as the “national model” for school-based applied leadership programs, and is designed to:

  • Support and enhance academic achievement
  • Provide training and applied leadership opportunities
  • Foster good citizenship and patriotism
  • Provide basic military knowledge
  • Promote health, fitness and wellness

The CACC provides a structured learning environment to facilitate academic success, leadership development, physical training and improved self-esteem through attaining achievable goals. It continues to receive support from the education community and civic leaders throughout California.

Unorganized militia

The unorganized militia of California consists of "all persons liable to service in the militia, but not members of the National Guard, the State Guard, or the Naval Militia." "All persons liable for service" is defined as:

  • All able-bodied male citizens and declared citizens between 18 and 45 years old[9]

The California Penal Code prohibits "any two or more persons who assemble as a paramilitary organization for the purpose of practicing with weapons", defining a paramilitary organization as "an organization which is not an agency of the United States government or of the State of California, or which is not a private school meeting the requirements set forth in Section 48222 of the Education Code, but which engages in instruction or training in guerrilla warfare or sabotage, or which, as an organization, engages in rioting or the violent disruption of, or the violent interference with, school activities."[10]
