The New Mexico State Guard, for example, was, up until very recently, a small (about 50 personnel), part-time, unpaid, unarmed force, called on, from time to time, to perform several support roles, mainly disaster-relief. Obviously, WWIII would change that, and I envision their size and role expanding, especially after the TDM.
