Maryland Defense Force Prepares to Assume National Guard Missions as Global Conflict Arises
In this Commanders Briefing clip, host Major (GA) Retired Beverly Shepard speaks with Brigadier General (MD) Gregory Juday, the Commanding General of The Maryland Defense Force, about the growing tensions across the globe and how they could impact the United States. General Juday discusses the potential role The Maryland Defense Force would play should a global conflict arise—specifically, whether the organization could assume the state-level military duties and responsibilities of The Maryland National Guard if the Guard were federally deployed. This would not be unprecedented, as The Maryland Defense Force performed such a duty during both World War I and World War II, stepping in to protect the state and support civil authorities while the Maryland National Guard served overseas. The conversation highlights the preparedness and organizational capabilities of The Maryland Defense Force to ensure Maryland’s security and support its citizens during national emergencies.
