In Texas, the State Guard basically has whatever weapons they have to bring to the party. Their uniforms are the old pickle-skins (by now they may have BDUs), and they have whatever web gear and equipment they can get a hold of (often cast offs from the National Guard). I don't know what their training schedule is like, but their training is minimal, and they are composed largely of those who either can't qualify for National Guard service or are vets who no longer want to be fully connected to the military. They do, however, man the armories when the National Guard unit is away at annual training; I'm not sure about a deployment.
In T2K, they'd make a credible guerrilla force, but not a regular military-quality unit.
