State

No officer of the militia may incur any expense whatsoever to be paid by this state, except such as is authorized in this title, without first obtaining the authority of the governor. In extreme emergencies, however, the commanding officer of any organization or detachment of the national guard may make purchases of such necessities as are absolutely required for the immediate use and care of that officer's command. A report of such action containing a statement of the articles purchased and the price thereof must be made forthwith through the channel of the adjutant general.

The discipline, including the training, of the national guard must conform to the system which is prescribed by the Congress of the United States.

Every member of the militia who is ordered out or ordered on duty, who volunteers, or who is drafted under the provisions of this title, who does not appear at the time and place designated by that person's commanding officer, the adjutant general, or the mustering officer, who does not produce a sworn certificate of physical disability from a physician in good standing showing that person's inability to appear, must be taken as a deserter and dealt with as prescribed in the uniform code of military justice of the United States.
