Soldiers of the CA SMR are sworn members of the California Military Department and proudly wear the uniform of the State of California. In addition to their role in homeland defense, CA SMR personnel provide valuable support to the various brigade, division and unit organizations of the California Army National Guard (CANG) and California Air National Guard (CA ANG). CA SMR soldiers are a non-paid all volunteer state force who also share many of the same state missions as their National Guard counterparts, including personnel and logistics support, legal, medical, and chaplain services, public affairs, military history, and communications support. In the event of a state emergency such as a fire, flood, earthquake, or civil disturbance, and subject to call to state active duty by the Governor of the State of California, these soldiers are then paid at the same rank and grade as their California National Guard counterparts.
