Default State Guard/State Self Defense Force

In the U.S.A., the various State Guard (sometimes referred to as [insert state name] State Defense Force) units- not to be confused with the [State] National Guard- are probably the closest thing to a Gendarmerie outfit we've got.

Here are a couple of examples:

AFAIK, most, but not all, states have such a force, but I imagine in a T2K scenario, the state legislatures and governors of states that don't would quickly authorize them.

I don't recall seeing mention of such units in any of the CONUS campaign modules, but they should be included.
