Scope and Contents
The Texas National Guard serves as a state and federal agency. During
peace time, the Guard is under the command of the governor and the adjutant
general. In wartime, the Guard is under federal supervision. The National
Militia Act of 1903 (the Dick Law) made all of the different militia units
within each state subject to the U.S. Army. During World War I and World War
II, the Texas National Guard served as the U.S. Army 36th Division.
