Indiana Naval Militia

[1] Like the members of the National Guard, the Navy Reserve and Marine Corps Reserve personnel who make up the membership of the various naval militias have a dual federal and state status, operating as a part of their state's military forces unless called into federal service, at which time they are relieved from their state obligations and placed under federal control until they are released from active service.[2] However, unlike the National Guard, which is activated and deployed as an entire unit, naval militia personnel are activated as individuals and deployed within the ranks of their respective reserve components.[3] The members of the First Battalion, Indiana Naval Militia were students at the Culver Military Academy who were nonetheless given full military status and participated in drills with naval militia from other states, serving aboard the USS Alabama during a drill in 1914.However, after the passage of a Naval Militia bill on 16 February 1916, the unit was mustered out of service due to the young ages of its members.[4] The Indiana Naval Militia was re-established in 1927, and by 1929 had established units in Indianapolis and Michigan City.
