We strongly encourage our members to be part of or support the local state defense force unit if one is already established in their state or locality. However, membership or affiliation with a defense force is not required for SGAUS membership. And, retired or inactive defense force members can continue to support the cause through membership in this organization. The SGAUS provides the state defense forces and others who support a viable state militia system with a unified voice in dealing with governmental agencies and law makers, as well as creating a means for communication between the various state defense forces. The SGAUS objective is to promote in both the public and private sectors the role and effectiveness of the state defense forces (SDFs). The SGAUS also provides its members with the opportunity to serve on nationally recognized committees. SGAUS annual membership dues are $16 for SDF enlisted personnel, $25 for SDF officers, and $30 for SDF general officers. Dues for civilians or unaffiliated supporters are $25. The SGAUS annual dues are based on the calendar year. However, if your payment is received after October 1st, you will be credited for the following calendar year. Upon receipt of the membership application and dues, you will receive a Certificate of Membership (suitable for framing) and a membership card.  In states with SDFs, members in "good standing" (with dues paid) are authorized to wear the SGAUS blue and gray Membership Ribbon on their uniforms. The blue and gray ribbon should be worn at the end of the row, blue to the outside, e.g., gray to the wearer's right. Ribbons can be obtained through your State Chapter or through SGAUS National Headquarters. Membership in the State Guard Association of the United States is open to those who favor the revival and development of a viable state militia system. Any good person, male or female, without discrimination as to race, national origin, handicap or advanced age is welcome. Contributions, gifts, or membership dues made or paid to the State Guard Association of the United States, Inc., are not refundable or transferable. Donations made to the SGAUS Foundation, Inc. are tax deductible; see SGAUS Foundation
