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."
