South Carolina State Guard
Units are occasionally sent out of state by order of the Governor, as in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, after Hurricane Katrina and during the Mexican-American War in the mid-1800s.All members being paid receive an equal amount regardless of rank and hours logged so long as the minimum time requirement has been fulfilled for that month.Some Federal and State agencies and private employers provide pay continuance to employees during training during work hours under orders.Guard members also receive certain tax and mileage deductions and, when authorized, reimbursement for travel or special training.These State Guardsmen receive continuous and rigorous training for law enforcement augmentation and other missions as directed.The outbreak of World War II in Europe pushed the U.S. government and military to prepare for possible conflict.[3][4] In September 2018, 285 State Guardsmen were activated to serve alongside the National Guard during Hurricane Florence.[6] In Charleston, the SCSG assisted the Medical University of South Carolina by transforming a wellness facility into a 250-bed field hospital for potential patients.[7] The State Guard currently wears standard US Army OCPs with modified black and grey nametapes.
