Kansas National Guard authorized to match state units
The War Department authorized Kansas to organize National Guard units to match prewar state forces. If fully formed, about 7,000 soldiers aged 18 to 45 could serve anywhere in the United States, though units cannot be detailed for overseas duty. The plan preserves existing state guards, with possible transfers of eligible members, and uses existing funding and regulations.
