The Maryland Charter of 1632 empowered
Lord Baltimore to raise troops to put down insur-
rection or rebellion and subdue enemies of the
province. Since that time, the training, organiza-
tion, maintenance, and administration of the Mary-
land Militia have been an integral part of State
government. The present military establishment of
Maryland conforms to Title 32 of the U.S. Code
and regulations issued pursuant thereto, and to the
Militia Law of Maryland (Code 1957, Art. 65).

The Adjutant General heads the Military De-
partment and exercises powers and duties under the
Militia Law of Maryland. The Military Department
prepares all State forms and records required for
militia use and the reports and returns required by
the federal government. Service records of all
officers and enlisted persons who have served or are
serving in the Maryland National Guard are main-
tained by the Military Department as well.

The Adjutant General is responsible for the bud-
get of the Military Department and is the custodian
of all State and federal property used by the organ-
ized militia. The Adjutant General maintains all
State-owned armories located in Maryland and all
other properties that may be occupied, purchased,
or leased by the Military Department. The Adjutant
General regulates the use of such facilities; applica-
tions for their use should be made to the Adjutant
General. In addition, the Adjutant General is re-
sponsible for the administration, training, and sup-
ply of approximately 9,500 National Guardsmen,
including 1,519 full-time employees (253 State-
paid; 1,266 federally paid).

As commander-in-chief of the militia, the Gov-
ernor has the power to organize and maintain ad-
ditional military forces, known as the Maryland
State Guard, which are separate and distinct from
the National Guard. Such forces are composed of
officers, commissioned or assigned, and all able-
bodied citizens of the State who volunteer and are
accepted for service. They may be ordered to active
duty in the State by the Governor whenever the
National Guard has been called into the military
service of the United States. Members of the State
Guard are uniformed as prescribed by the Gover-
nor, who also may reduce or disband such forces.

The Adjutant General is appointed by the Gov-
ernor with Senate advice and consent. The Assistant
Adjutant General for Army and the Assistant Adju-
tant General for Air are both appointed by the
Governor (Const., Art. IX, sec. 2).
