Florida @GovRonDeSantis wants to resurrect the Florida State Guard, a paramilitary force disbanded in 1947.

Unlike the @FLGuard, the FSG will answer solely to the Governor. No federal deployments. No federal missions. No federal dollars.
DeSantis wants the civilian volunteer force around 200 members.

They'll assist the National Guard in hurricanes, natural disasters and other state-specific emergencies.

The upside, DeSantis says: they're "not encumbered by the federal government."
For context: the @FLGuard is undersized and overworked.

They've devoted more than 2.9 million federal work days between 2016 and 2021, but only 834,000 on state missions — per the approximate totals they shared with lawmakers in October.
