I forgot to mention two other combat organizations based on State Defense Forces (SDF). The Vermont State Guard, which pre-existed the Twilight War in the real world, took over local security after the Pentagon federalized and deployed all remaining Vermont National Guard and Army Reserve personnel and equipment in the wake of the Mexican invasion (1998). The VSG still exists in early 2001. Its centerpiece is the Green Jacket Regiment--a play on words referring to the Green Mountains and the sharpshooting Green Jackets of British fame.

Also still in existence is the New Hampshire Military Reserve, which now operates as the Granite Brigade in Manchester. The Pentagon also emptied New Hampshire of its National Guard units in response to the Mexican invasion. The NHMR survived only because the acting governor abandoned the majority of the state and moved everything that could be moved to Manchester.

Massachusetts no longer has anything resembling an SDF or a state government. The same applies to Maine.
