26 DEC 2024 · In this episode of Scuttlebutt with Professor Barry Stentiford, we explore the obligations of State Defense Force soldiers and how their service compares to that of Police officers during statewide emergencies. The discussion focuses on the legal framework governing State Defense Forces soldiers when activated on State Active Duty. Much like their counterparts in the U.S. Army National Guard, and Air National Guard, State Defense Force personnel are bound by their state's equivalent of the Federal Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). This legal framework mandates that soldiers remain at their post, follow lawful orders, and fulfill their duties for the duration of a mission, with violations resulting in criminal prosecution.
The conversation transitions to examine the responsibilities of Police officers during natural disasters, hurricanes, or other emergencies. The clip poses a critical question: Are Police officers under a similar legal obligation to remain on duty, or do they have the discretion to step down if they choose no longer to serve during these critical moments? This comparison highlights the unique challenges and expectations placed on different uniformed services during crises, sparking a thought-provoking dialogue on duty, accountability, and public trust.

18 DEC 2024 · In this Scuttlebutt podcast snippet, Professor Barry Stentiford and I discuss why police forces alone cannot meet the demands of hurricanes, severe weather events, and state emergencies. During such crises, police forces are often overwhelmed, stretched thin by the sheer scale of the response required to ensure public safety. We highlight the critical role State Guards and State Defense Forces play in providing essential extra support, offering specialized skills like engineering, logistics, and medical aid. These military forces also augment law enforcement efforts, ensuring a rapid, coordinated, and effective response that helps protect lives and stabilize communities during times of chaos.

10 DEC 2024 · In this Scuttlebutt clip featuring Professor Stentiford, we explore the rising global tensions, including the Russia-Ukraine War and China’s anticipated invasion of Taiwan, and how these conflicts could significantly impact the role of State Defense Forces. With National Guard units likely deploying to conflict zones, many states could reactivate or establish new State Defense Forces to maintain essential homeland security and disaster response missions. Territories like Guam, the Mariana Islands, and Hawaii, alongside other U.S. states, are expected to develop their own defense forces to fill critical gaps left by the National Guard, ensuring local communities remain protected and supported during times of global instability.
