history

The Idaho National Guard traces its roots back to militia associations from the Idaho Territory created in 1863 . The national guards of the states have been federally and institutionally closely linked to the regular army and air force since 1903 , so that the federal level can fall back on them under certain circumstances with the consent of Congress . Separate from this is the state guard , the Idaho State Guard (active from 1917 to 1946), which is solely obliged to the state.
