The California Military Department is an agency defined under the California Military and Veterans code (§ 50 ). The Military Department includes the office of the Adjutant General, the California National Guard, the California State Military Reserve, the California Cadet Corps, and the Naval Militia.〔(California Military and Veteran's Code section § 51 )〕 Frequently the California Military Department and the California National Guard have been used interchangeably. This is incorrect, however, as the California National Guard is a component of the California Military Department by law.〔( California Military & Veteran's Code §51 )〕 Unlike states like Nevada and Arizona where the sum total of those states' military forces is their National Guard, there are other components to California's military forces besides the California National Guard at the Governor's disposal. There are five(5) distinct components to the California Military Department according to CA Military & Veteran's Code § 51:〔(CMVC §51 )〕 ''"The Military Department includes the office of the Adjutant General, the California National Guard, the State Military Reserve, the California Cadet Corps, and the Naval Militia."'' However, only three of these components 〔(CMVC §121 )〕 are actually considered the "Active Militia" of the State of California according to California Military & Veterans Code § 120:〔(CMVC §120 )〕 ''"The militia of the State shall consist of the National Guard, State Military Reserve and the Naval Militia--which constitute the active militia--and the unorganized militia."'' All able-bodied males between 18 and 45 years old who are not members of the California Military Department are by law the unorganized militia of the state.〔(California Military & Veterans Code § 121 )〕 The unorganized militia are subject to call of the Governor under CA Military & Veteran's Code § 128.〔(California Military & Veterans Code § 128 )〕 ==Adjutant General of California== The Adjutant General (TAG) is the commander of all State of California military forces and is subordinate only to the Governor.〔California Military and Veterans code (§160 )〕〔(California Government Organization Chart )〕 The AG is chief of staff to the Governor and is a member of the Governor's cabinet and is vested with the duties and responsibilities of the Division of Military Affairs, and is also the head of the Military Department and shall be responsible for its affairs, functions, duties, funds, and property.〔〔 Originally in the 1850 law establishing the California Militia, the office of Adjutant General was separate from that of Quartermaster General but was later consolidated with that of the Adjutant General during the early years of the term in office of William C. Kibbe. From 1852, the Quartermaster General of California was subsumed under the office of Adjutant General of California, when William H. Richardson resigned and Quartermaster General William Chauncey Kibbe became Adjutant General by a law of 1852.〔( Sacramento City and County Directory, H. S.
