Purpose
To understand the creation of the Tennessee
State Guard “Reserve” and its mission,
which is the component assignment for
“most” Tennessee State Guardsmen.
Introduction
The Tennessee State Guard is a unique
organization. It is a militia that is part of
the Tennessee Army Military Force, which
is part of the Tennessee Military
Department. However, it is not part of the
Tennessee Army National Guard because it
has no federal authority. It has active and
reserve personnel, whose roles are unique.
There Are Two Organizations

TCA 58-1-104
Tennessee State Guard, whenever such a
state force shall be “duly organized”, and its
reserve shall constitute part of the state’s
army military force.
1) Tennessee State Guard
2) Tennessee State Guard Reserve
Organizational Authorities

TCA 58-1-401. Whenever the president of the
U.S. shall call any part of the NG of this state into
active federal service, the governor is authorized
to enlist, organize, maintain, equip and discipline a
volunteer defense force, other than the NG, to be
known as the TSG (Active).

TCA 58-1-410. Adjutant General is authorized
and empowered to setup and maintain a Reserve
Organization of TSG upon a voluntary basis under
such system as to him may seem most feasible
(Reserve).
Individual Authorities

TCA 58-1-401- Activate to Replace NG
 TCA 58-1-402- Active for Advisory Service
 TCA 58-1-405- Active for Supervisory
Service.
 TCA 58-1-408- Active for State Duty (i.e.
Training and Drills)
 TCA 58-1-410- Reserve.
Mission
(If Active)
TSG replaces deployed NG units and
responds to any call by the governor for
emergency state duty and augments the NG
and assist the TEMA.
Mission
(Reserve)
Provide means or “resources” (i.e. people
and equipment) for the creation of a TSG in
case the NG is called into federal service.
*If this is correct we have been operating
beyond the scope of our mission
