The Oklahoma Military Department is a Department of the State Government and was established by Title 44 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Title 44 includes the following provisions: All matters concerning or relating to the Militia, the National Guard, or other military organizations, and such other duties as may be assigned by the Governor, shall be administered by and through the Military Department. The Military Department shall be administered and controlled by the Governor as Commander in Chief, with The Adjutant General as the executive and administrative head thereof. There shall be assigned to the Department such officers, en­ listed men and employees as may be considered necessary by the Governor as Commander in Chief and as may be authorized by law and National Guard Regulations. The National Guard of the State of Oklahoma consists of the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard. The Oklahoma Military Department respectfully and gratefully acknowledges the support provided by the Governor, other state agencies, and the members of the Senate and House during the 33rd Legislature. MISSION Units of the Oklahoma National Guard Army and Air, have a dual mission, as follows: Federal or State - To provide units organized, equipped and trained to function efficiently at existing strength in the protection of life and property and the preservation of peace, order and public safety under competent orders of Federal or State authorities. Federal - To provide trained units and qualified individuals available for active duty in time of war or national emer­ gency in support of national war plans, and at such other times as the national security may require augmentation of the active forces. Federal (Military Support to Civil Authorities) - In the event of an emergency involving nuclear attack on the United States, employ available resources, which are not being used in essential combat, combat support and self survival opera­ tions, in support of civil defense operations within the State of Oklahoma and as otherwise directed in order to assist in restoring essential facilities, preventing unnecessary loss of life, and alleviating suffering. Be prepared to take necessary action to restore civil control where it has be­ come inoperative. Be prepared to support civil defense operations in adjacent States on order. The Oklahoma National Guard remains constitutionally a State- administered military force.
