STATE GUARD MOBILIZATION PLANS FOR SOUTH DAKOTA

The governor authorized Colonel Beckwith to organize a state guard under a 1941 act, with pay comparable to a regular US Army colonel and federal allowances estimated at 600 to 700 dollars monthly. Leaders from the American Legion and Veterans groups urged action, resulting in a conference that outlined a 360-man mobile unit.

South Dakota Weighs Guard Plans as War Time Proceeds

The article details state officials' slow progress toward a state or national guard, noting Colonel Backwith and Governor Bushfield lack of action. Despite a 1941 appropriation of 18,000 for July 1941 to June 1942 and a later raise to 26,000, funds show heavy admin and maintenance draws. Local sheriffs in Sioux Falls, Watertown, Aberdeen, and Yankton report makeshift efforts, while no formal guard units exist in several cities and volunteer groups have not organized.
