This is not an easy question to Answer, because there are many loopholes, laws, and regulations, and more than a little “bad information” out there from “barracks” and “sea lawyers” to overcome.Let’s start by reviewing the service status first.SERVICE STATUSll US servicemembers have an initial statutory 8-year Military Service Obligation contract, any portion of which not served on active duty will be served in a reserve status.Within that 8-year MSO contract, servicemembers are initially contracted with “initial obligated service”:Regular Component service:2 years Regular and 6 years Reserve component,3 years Regular and 5 years Reserves,4 x 4,5 x 3,6 x 2.Reserve Component service:2 years Selected Reserve drilling obligation and 6 years “any” Reserve category (SelRes, IRR, Standby Reserve),3 years SelRes and 5 years “any” Reserve category,4 x 4,5 x 3,6 x 2.The standard contracts are 4x4 for Regulars, and 6x2 for Reserves, but as you can see there are some deviations.After the servicemember completes their “initial obligated service,” e.g., the Regular has served all 4 years as agreed, or the Reserve has served all 6 years as agreed, they have a choice:As a Regular — “reenlist” on another active duty contract (for Regular service) of typically 3–6 years,As a Regular — “extend” on the same active duty contract (for Regular service) generally for 1 more year,As a Regular — refuse to “reenlist” or “extend,” and by default under their 8-year MSO then transfer to the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) of their Service’s Ready Reserve category,As a Reserve — simply continue serving as a volunteer in their SelRes unit status (no reenlistment or extension necessary, because they are already in the Reserves),As a Reserve — refuse to continue participating as a SelRes, and transfer to the IRR of their Service.The individual could also request various other transfers (inter-service, from Reserve to Regular, from SelRes to Active Reserve/Full Time Support/Active Guard/Reserve, officer commission programs, etc.).COMPLETION OF THE 8-YEAR MILITARY SERVICE OBLIGATION (MSO)In all those cases above, until the servicemember has served out all 8 years of their MSO contract, they remain available as manpower resources, whether as Regulars on active duty, as Reserve on FTS/AGR/AR or Mob orders, as Reserve in a SelRes drilling unit, as Reserve in the IRR, even as Reserve in the Standby Reserve (such as a person training to be a minister, who is released from the Ready Reserve while in seminary but not released completely from their contract until they have completed the 8-year MSO).This means that servicemembers with the standard contracts, 4x4 Regulars and 6x2 Reserves, remain “on the hook” for any required recalls to active service, under any of the various mobilization authorities under Title 123XX (or Title 14 for Coast Guard Reserves), even once they’ve completed their initial obligated service, for the duration of their 8-year MSO.→ All commissioned and warrant officers who complete their 8-year MSO, and are in the reserve component, are required by law to “participate” in at least 12 days’ worth of creditable duty…doing something recognized by their Service, one day a month, or 12 days in a row, under official orders, whether with or without pay (usually without pay).[1][1][1][1] Failure to participate in the first year after completing the MSO, or leaving the Selected Reserve unit if drilling, results in essentially a “warning” letter. If the officer still does not meet the minimum participation requirements in the second year, they will be involuntarily discharged, their commission will typically be administratively revoked (usually with an Honorable characterization of service), and they are now full civilians without any remaining residual military status whatsoever. Veterans are not military members, and whether they rate any veterans benefits is a function of various laws and regulations outside the scope of this Answer.→ All enlisted members who do not reenlist beyond the end of their 8-year MSO (whether by Regular or Reserve reenlistments), are automatically discharged on the last day of their MSO. IF they are Regulars on that day, or Reserve with certain types of active duty orders, they will receive a DD-214 and characterization of service on that day, and their pay and allowance and most of their benefits will immediately terminate, they get a handshake, award, or a shove out the door, whatever, and out the door they go: they are now full civilians without any remaining residual military status whatsoever. Veterans are not military members, and whether they rate any veterans benefits is a function of various laws and regulations outside the scope of this Answer.Any enlisted Reserve member who is not on some form of active duty on their last day of their 8-year MSO contract, will be discharged, but will not receive a DD-214 document. Their Service will characterize their final status, and send out a discharge certificate on that date (or shortly after, given automation or lack thereof involved…).Members of the National Guard (officers and enlisted) who are discharged will receive, in addition to the aforementioned handshake, award, or shove out the door, a:NGB 22 - Report of Separation and Record of Service, Departments of the Army and the Air Force, National Guard Bureau[2][2][2][2]Reserve members (officers and enlisted) of the Federal reserves (Army Reserve, Marine Reserve, Navy Reserve, etc.) will receive their handshake, award, or shove out the door, and an Honorable or General discharge certificate, as applicable (by Service):[3][3][3][3]DD 256A - Honorable Discharge CertificateDD 256AF - Honorable Discharge CertificateDD 256CG - Honorable Discharge CertificateDD 256MC - Honorable Discharge CertificateDD 256N - Honorable Discharge CertificateDD 257A - General Discharge CertificateDD 257AF - General Discharge CertificateDD 257CG - General Discharge CertificateDD 257MC - General Discharge CertificateDD 257N - General Discharge CertificateIn the distant past, there were other discharges documents, like a “DD-217,” and there were actually discharge certificates for “Other than Honorable” discharges, but those are no longer issued.→ Once that former Reserve member has their discharge certificate, at the end of their 8-year MSO, they are now full civilians without any remaining residual military status whatsoever. Veterans are not military members, and whether they rate any veterans benefits is a function of various laws and regulations outside the scope of this Answer.DISCHARGES BEFORE COMPLETION OF THE MSOIt is also possible to be completely discharged, without any residual military status whatsoever, from either the Regular or Reserve components, earlier than the end of the 8-year MSO, by reason such as:Administrative discharges, such as —Humanitarian reasons,Personality disorders,Conscientious objector status,Misconduct,Substandard performance,In lieu of court-martial,Dropped from the rolls,Entry-level separations,etc.Punitive discharges, such as —Bad conduct discharge for an enlisted member as sentenced by a Special or General Court-Martial,Dishonorable discharge for an enlisted member or an uncommissioned warrant officer as sentenced by a General Court-Martial,Dismissal as sentenced for a commissioned officer, cadet, or midshipman as sentenced by a General Court-Martial.Disability discharges, such as —As a result of the findings of a Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) convened by competent authority, that the member is no longer “fit” to perform the duties of their office, grade, rank, or rating, and the VA has rated those “unfitting” disabilities between 0% and 20%. The member will be “separated for disability,” generally with a medical separation payment.→ In each case above, if the proper authority orders a separation from the Service, and not a transfer to the reserve component or retirement, then they are now full civilians without any remaining residual military status whatsoever. Veterans are not military members, and whether they rate any veterans benefits is a function of various laws and regulations outside the scope of this Answer.RETIREES AS A MOBILIZATION RESOURCEUntil the Day They Die…All Regular and Reserve retirees (Categories I, I, and III) are subject to recall for life, although DoD policy is to limit recalls of those age 60 and older, and those on the disability lists (both are called Category III for mobilization purposes), to those with specific skills to offer, and only after individual evaluation of their “usefulness.” My term, but it describes the concept:Par. 3.2g(2): “The nature and extent of the mobilization of Category III retirees will be determined by each Military Service, based on the retiree’s military skill and, if applicable, the nature and degree of the retiree’s disability.”[4][4][4][4]Retired Members Mobilization CategoriesFor reference, DoD policy establishes three mobilization categories that guide, but are not statutory, mobilization decisions involving retired servicemembers, whether Regular or Reserve:[5][5][5][5]Category I - retired less than 5 years, not retired for disability,Category II - retired for more than 5 years, not retired for disability,Category III - retired for any number of years, either age 60+ or retired for disabilityRecall AuthoritiesRegular retirees are recalled to active service using 10 USC 688 (or 14 USC 2127, 2128, 2308 or 2309 for Coast Guard retirees).[6][6][6][6][7][7][7][7][8][8][8][8][9][9][9][9][10][10][10][10]Reserve retirees with 20+ years of active duty are recalled to active service also using 10 USC 688, as for Regular retirees.Reserve retirees without 20+ years of active duty, i.e., “Gray Area” retirees awaiting retired pay at age 60 (or earlier for certain creditable service after 28 January 2008), are recalled to active service using a variety of other authorities, depending on the nature of the requirements, etc., including:(Image Courtesy of slide #3: https://slideplayer.com/slide/10308711/)10 USC 12301(d) — Voluntary Activation,10 USC 12301(b) — Involuntary Recall, Selective Mobilization (limited to 15 days per year),10 USC 12304a — Involuntary Recall, SecDef Response to State Request for Assistance,10 USC 12304b — Involuntary Recalls, Service Secretary Support for Pre-Planned Missions (in conjunction with Combatant Commander identified requirements), up to 60,000 Selected Reserves,10 USC 12304 — Involuntary Recall, Presidential Recall, up to 200,000 Ready Reserves,10 USC 12302 — Involuntary Recall, Presidential Declaration of National Emergency, Partial Mobilization of up to 1,000,000 Ready Reserves,10 USC 12301a — Congressional Declaration of National Emergency, Full Mobilization of all existing Active and Reserve force structure and resources (which includes all retirees, the Standby Reserves, all cadets and midshipmen, all officer candidates, all ROTC contracted members, all members of the DEP, etc.).These mobilization authorities do not need to be used exclusively in order, and some are often used simultaneously, with volunteers from the reserves and retirees working alongside Regulars and reserves mobilized by various authorities (including the USCG authorities listed above).The US has not used 12301a, Full Mobilization, or its predecessor (prior to enactment in 1952), since World War II, although we came close in the Korean War. Nearly all mobilization resources were tapped in the Korean War, but not completely.In WWII, we exceeded the existing armed forces structure, and massively expanded it, and the entire economy and social construct of the US to fight the war; this is called Total Mobilization, where all tools available to the Nation are tapped, from retirees and all reserves, to drafting individuals involuntarily, rationing critical materials, changing manufacturing from consumer goods to wartime production, etc.CONCLUSIONSo…once you have been retired, discharged, or finished your contract in the military can DoD force you to go back?Yes.And no.If you have been retired, you are a mobilization asset for the rest of your life, regardless of age or infirmity, Regular or Reserve, or how long you served, although the older you are, and the more infirm you are, the less likely you are to be “useful” and actually recalled to active service, even in a Full or Total Mobilization situation.If you have been discharged, and you remain in the reserve component, and have NOT completed your 8-year MSO, you are a mobilization asset until the day your 8-year MSO is completed…and in the event of certain situations potentially after that as long as the war is continued (“…for the duration of the war plus 6 months…”).If you are a commissioned or warrant officer, in the reserve component whether having completed the 8-year MSO or not, and you have not taken affirmative action to resign your commission or warrant and that action has been approved with final discharge approved and revocation of the commission or warrant, you are a mobilization asset until the day your 8-year MSO is completed…and continuing until your final discharge is approved if beyond the 8-year MSO..If you have been completely discharged, AND you are not in the reserve component, and/or beyond your 8-year MSO, you are no longer a mobilization asset…at all.If you are retired, or still under any form of contract whether active duty or reserve, you remain in the military, and as such the “DoD can force you to go back.”Failure to respond when recalled under involuntary conditions amounts to desertion, and may be charged at a court-martial as such if the Service decides to do so, or it may result in adverse administration actions like discharge with an Other Than Honorable characterization and various other adverse conditions.Footnotes[1] 10 U.S. Code § 12642 - Standards and qualifications: result of failure to comply with[1] 10 U.S. Code § 12642 - Standards and qualifications: result of failure to comply with[1] 10 U.S. Code § 12642 - Standards and qualifications: result of failure to comply with[1] 10 U.S. Code § 12642 - Standards and qualifications: result of failure to comply with[2] Complete list of discharge documents | Veterans Affairs[2] Complete list of discharge documents | Veterans Affairs[2] Complete list of discharge documents | Veterans Affairs[2] Complete list of discharge documents | Veterans Affairs[3] Complete list of discharge documents | Veterans Affairs[3] Complete list of discharge documents | Veterans Affairs[3] Complete list of discharge documents | Veterans Affairs[3] Complete list of discharge documents | Veterans Affairs[4] https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/135201_dodi_2016.pdf (https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/135201_dodi_2016.pdf)[4] https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/135201_dodi_2016.pdf (https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/135201_dodi_2016.pdf)[4] https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/135201_dodi_2016.pdf (https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/135201_dodi_2016.pdf)[4] https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/135201_dodi_2016.pdf (https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/135201_dodi_2016.pdf)[5] https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/135201_dodi_2016.pdf, par. 3.2g[5] https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/135201_dodi_2016.pdf, par. 3.2g[5] https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/135201_dodi_2016.pdf, par. 3.2g[5] https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/135201_dodi_2016.pdf, par. 3.2g[6] 10 U.S. Code § 688 - Retired members: authority to order to active duty;

Sure, the US Constitution tells us that the militia can be called for active Federal service, but is maintained by the States according to the regulations and training provided by the Congress [1][1][1][1]This didn’t happen, over the years…except for that part of the militia generally known as the “select militia,” or the “National Guard” (and in some States, a “naval militia,” as well) until the 1903 Dick Act codified the federal existence of an organized militia (the National Guard and the naval militia).[2][2][2][2]Today, there is a tremendous body of legislation, at the federal and state levels, and an even larger amount of regulations, training manuals, doctrine, etc., by which the unorganized militia could be trained.[3][3][3][3]The entire set of US Army Regulations[4][4][4][4] — all 497 of them! — would generally be applicable, except for that small subset that were designated as naval militia.[5][5][5][5] And even for the naval militia, much of the Army Regs could easily be applicable…although implementing Navy Regs would probably be better given their (eventual) specialization with something to do with maritime operations.[6][6][6][6] [7][7][7][7]In addition, the entire set of National Guard Bureau publications (Regulations, Manuals, and more), would be applicable.[8][8][8][8]Of course, certain publications would be of more use than others, such as:Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States (from 1779, but still has a lot to say about basic military training and concepts, leadership, and more! It was literally written to train a rabble of barely- or not-trained militia how to be soldiers…and that problem would be front and center again under the problem proposed by the OP),[9]National Guard Regulation 350-1, Training Army National Guard Training,[10]Naval militia regulations[11] from a state like New York, with a functional naval militia, such as the New York Naval Militia Regulations,[12]and many, many more…If the militia were called into Federal active service, they would then become (at least part of…) the Militia of the United States…essentially, an arm of the US Army (or Navy, if naval militia).[13][13][13][13]How, exactly, this would occur is difficult to say because nothing like it has happened since WWII, and that was after the 1938 National Guard/Naval Militia laws completed the codification of the NG/NM as parts of the Federal structure…when federalized.[14][14][14][14]The easiest way to understand this wickedly complex problem might be:President calls for the activation of the militia of a state or states, say hurricane prone states like Florida and the Gulf States.Those states involved, after first laughing about it, but then realizing that the President is serious, and has the lawful authority to do it, talk to their National Guard Adjutant General, the senior State military officer.[15]Their TAG would tell them, probably, that their state laws do, indeed, describe which citizens of their states are part of the organized, and the unorganized militia. Significantly, the definition of “unorganized militia”[16] will need to be the federal one, since they aren’t being called directly for State service…but Federal service. In this case, the State acts as a “force generation” service for the delivery of a resource for federal service…Of the Gulf States, I think Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi have a functional State Defense Force, along with Georgia and South Carolina,[17] with the Texas Guard also having a functional maritime component,[18] so Texas and those other states might have an easier time understanding the nature of the problem, and how to approach it, since it has current experience mobilizing its own Texas citizens under Texas laws…which experience would be useful in trying to mobilize any Texans for federal militia service. The concepts aren’t mutually exclusive, more like parallel.[19]Be that as it may, each State will determine a way to identify their citizens that are actually, as federal law defines it, members of the unorganized militia (and clean up their rosters of their National Guard and State Defense Forces, too, since they will be involved, as well).[20]After identifying those eligible citizens, the States will need to find them, and notify them of their impending “call to active service” as members of the unorganized militia of the United States, such as the method in law for California where the Governor may order the “enrollment” of citizens. Failure to enroll after a notification is a misdemeanor civil crime under California statute…essentially, failure to report or deliberately shirking public duty…[21]This will probably involve issuing them orders under State law to muster as State militia, likely at their nearest National Guard armory (the NG taking point on running this). Louisiana has a fairly detailed state law about this.[22] [23]Those who show up, bewildered about just what is happening, are informed they are duly enrolled into their State’s active service, they are now under State military law (each state maintains their own version which is usually close if not exactly word for word matching to the US Uniform Code of Military Justice, such as that of Louisiana[24]) so if they leave or run away they will be declared a State deserter and the state law enforcement will hunt them down and arrest them for desertion or other violations of their state’s military code.They are run through basic screening, medical physicals (with either NG/military doctors or contract doctors brought on for the specific purpose under State contract), fill out paperwork, etc. Those that are utterly not qualified are paid for a day or two, with travel expenses like mileage, and sent home with the thanks of a Grateful State and Nation. Some nice piece of paper for showing up and trying.Those who pass the screening, are told they are being trained, equipped, and organized as part of their State’s militia for XXX days/months, until they are prepared to be federalized and turned over to the US Army (or Navy). The National Guard takes the lead on this training, with close supervision by US Army and Navy observers sent specifically for the purpose of inspecting and instructing (as they did throughout history, whenever the militia was being mustered with a purpose..).A fairly large percentage of those who passed the initial screening will probably later fail, or desert. Those who legitimately fail out, or present good reasons to be discharged, will probably be given the “thanks of the Grateful State and Nation” form, paid off, and sent home.Those who are deserters will be identified as such, and the state law enforcement put on their scent to be arrested and returned to state military control to stand trial by court-martial or other disciplinary actions as determined by their commanders. Or perhaps just discharged with a State version of the Other Than Honorable discharge…so everyone knows they were a deserter and broke faith with their State and Nation…publish their names in a list, perhaps…public shaming.After accomplishing the basic muster, organize, equip, train to a very basic standard, by that time the Feds should have figured out what forms to use, laws, etc., to actually effect the transfer of the State militia to the Militia of the United States for federal active service. Doing it as even provisional “units” from each State makes this easier, even if the Feds later break them up for other purposes once in Federal service, much like the training platoons at basic training are later broken up as the graduates are sent onward.At the point where the militiamen are now transferred to Federal control, they will probably take the Federal Oath of Office (for those who are tendered temporary federal commissions due to their experience, skills, and/or leadership), or the Federal Oath of Enlistment (for everyone else). More paperwork, more briefings, making sure they know that they were now no longer officers and employees of their State, but on Federal active duty and as such were now subject to the Federal UCMJ and command and control for nation-wide service.Probably a few more will try to desert, but this time, they get treated like any other Federal deserter, and a nationwide arrest warrant goes out for them.The rest get put to work doing whatever it was that required the President to call them out…In reality, for a small number of people that were required, this could be done rather quickly. If more were needed, it would quickly become a complete goat rope/cluster…This is why the US has a very robust National Guard and Federal reserve component…about 1,000,000 already on the books as trained and ready military personnel. And another 2 million military retirees (and sure perhaps only 50% of the retirees are qualified to do anything…but that’s still 1,000,000 more or less already trained and qualified for something manpower)……The totality of all States’ enrolled “State Defense Forces” (SDF) today, in the 25 or so States that have them, whether Army, Air, or Naval components, is only something like 25,000.[25]BOTTOM LINE: Between the 1,300,000 active duty military, the 1,000,000 reservists and National Guardsmen, the 2,000,000 military retirees, and the various cats and dogs like the SDF’s, other public safety members (well 1,000,000 police, fire, EMS, medical providers, hazmat, emergency management, etc.), and the several million Govt civil servants (from Federal down to local) that are capable of being directed into public safety work (like in California, where every single State and local civil servant is sworn in as a disaster service worker, meaning they can be ordered to perform duties outside their normal duties if required in an emergency),[26][26][26][26] there should never be a need to “call forth the militia” — meaning the unorganized militia, because the National Guard (and the SDF’s, for that matter) are part of the “organized militia.”[27][27][27][27] Not when any Governor can call upon their entire State’s own organized militia, and if that isn’t enough, call upon neighboring State’s organized militias under Emergency Management Assistance Compacts[28][28][28][28] for mutual cooperation, as well as their entire State’s public safety and civil service as needed and within their capabilities…And a final note: any time a State has an emergency that meets certain criteria, they are eligible to request reimbursement of funds expended to handle that emergency, which is why we hear so much about “The Governor has declared the Counties of XXX and YYY as disaster areas.”[29][29][29][29] Because, that gives then leverage to get Federal disaster assistance and reimbursement for all State money spent, even on things like overtime, salaries, transportation, goods and services, contracts, etc., under the Stafford Act.[30][30][30][30]Footnotes[1] Guide to the Constitution[1] Guide to the Constitution[1] Guide to the Constitution[1] Guide to the Constitution[2] Guide to the Constitution[2] Guide to the Constitution[2] Guide to the Constitution[2] Guide to the Constitution[3] http://digitalcommons.law.yale.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2548&context=ylj[3] http://digitalcommons.law.yale.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2548&context=ylj[3] http://digitalcommons.law.yale.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2548&context=ylj[3] http://digitalcommons.law.yale.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2548&context=ylj[4] Army Publishing Directorate[4] Army Publishing Directorate[4] Army Publishing Directorate[4] Army Publishing Directorate[5] Naval Militia | Encyclopedia.com[5] Naval Militia | Encyclopedia.com[5] Naval Militia | Encyclopedia.com[5] Naval Militia | Encyclopedia.com[6] 10 U.S. Code § 246 - Militia: composition and classes[6] 10 U.S. Code § 246 - Militia: composition and classes[6] 10 U.S. Code § 246 - Militia: composition and classes[6] 10 U.S. Code § 246 - Militia: composition and classes[7] U.S.C.

(See: Can DOD civilians outrank troops?)In the US Govt and US military, there is already built-in comparisons/equivalencies between the standard US Govt civil service and US military members. See the chart above. “GS-7” is the first GS civil service position that is considered “officer equivalent,” with the O-1 pay grade.Here’s another view of the entire pay grade equivalency list:(See: Comparison of Military and Civilian Equivalent Grades)The US listing of “Order of Precedence” is the principal document used to determine protocol for official functions, dinners, meetings, etc. Essentially, it defines — publicly — who outranks whom among various elected officials, appointed officials, judges, legislators, and civil service and military personnel.See: https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Order-of-Precedence.pdfFor example, the very first mention of a military member is:Line number 20.d. — the (current) Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.(Former CJCS are listed at a lower precedence, at line number 23.a.)Notice that in certain instances, currently serving military officers may be appointed as Heads of independent Agencies (like NASA or the CIA), or Federal Agencies like the “Defense Commissary Agency,” and while they will not outrank (in military seniority) the CJCS…for protocol purposes they will outrank all other military officers, except in some cases the CJCS. This “protocol rank” is NOT seniority in the “military sense,” only in the “protocol sense” where their current job (not the individual in the job) is ranked in order of precedence higher than any other military positions. See line numbers 21.b and 22.c.For protocol purposes, the next most senior military officer will be the:Line 23.b. — Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs (VCJCS),Line 23.c. — The Joint Chiefs (order of precedence for protocol and for military seniority is established by the officer’s date of appointment to that Office):Chief of Staff, Army;Commandant of the Marine Corps;Chief of Naval Operations;Chief of Staff, Air ForceChief of Staff, Space ForceChief, National Guard Bureau (at line number 23.d.),Line 23.e. — Commandant of the Coast Guard,Line 23.f. — Combatant Commanders (order of precedence for protocol and for military seniority is established by the Commander’s date of appointment to that Command):[1]Africa Command,Central Command,Cyber Command,European Command,Indo-Pacific Command,Northern Command,Southern Command,Space Command,Strategic Command,Special Operations CommandTransportation Command.Then there are significant numbers of various ambassadors, heads and deputy heads of Federal agencies, judges, undersecretaries and assistant secretaries, the Postmaster General, Comptroller General, lieutenant governors, mayors, and more.Next, from the Military Departments, in the order of precedence are:Line 36.a. — Vice Chief of Staff, Army; Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps; Vice Chief of Naval Operations; Vice Chief of Staff, Air Force, and Vice Chief of Staff, Space Force (by date of appointment),Line 36.b. — Vice Chief of the National Guard Bureau,Line 36.c. — Vice Commandant of the Coast GuardLine 36.d. — (civilian) Assistant Secretaries and General Counsels of the Department of the Army, Navy, and Air Force (by date of appointment)Line 36.e. — Four Star Military Officers - General or Admiral (in order of seniority; retired officers rank with but after active officers).Then comes the Officers of the US Senate and the US House of Representatives (Chaplain, Party Secretaries, Clerk of the House, Sergeants at Arms, etc.).And then, we have:Line 37.a. — Three Star Military Officers - Lieutenant General, Vice Admiral (in order of seniority; retired officers rank after active members)And then, various chairmen, deputy undersecretaries, principal deputy assistant secretaries, etc.And then,Line 39.d. — Two Star Military - Major General, Rear Admiral (in order of seniority; retired officers rank with but after active officers)Followed by more civil appointees at high positions.And then,Line 42.a. — One Star Military - Brigadier Generals, Rear Admirals (in order of seniority; retired officers rank with but after active officers)So…we know that Mayors, when in their own City, by the protocol standards (but not sovereign authority) of most States, outrank everyone except the Governor of their State.We also know that the President outranks any Mayor or Governor, anywhere, because he is the President of all the United States, and all the Territories, Districts, Counties, Municipalities, and even Indian tribes (although through the US Constitution and various treaties, many Tribes maintain a degree of sovereignty of their own).Mayors, Governors, Lieutenant Governors, County Commissioners, Chief Executives of the Indian Tribes, State Legislators and Judges, all have a place in the order of precedence, according to protocol, and effectively, all of them are at least equivalent to any military general officer. (And within each State, there is a specific order of precedence that accounts for that State’s own particular “hierarchy” of protocol amongst the public servants.)Some of them, especially Governors, whether in or outside of their own jurisdictions, outrank all military members.Mayors, whether in or out of their own municipality, outrank (for protocol purposes ONLY) all military members except the CJCS, VCJCS, the Service Chiefs, the Chief of the NGB, and the Combatant Commanders (all 4-star general/flag officers of the DoD at the apex of their professions).Remember, military “command” and “seniority” are not affected by civilian “protocol rank,” with the sole exceptions of the President as Commander in Chief, and the Secretary of Defense for operational matters. The Service Secretaries (Army, Navy, Air Force), and the Secretaries of Homeland Security (USCG in peacetime), Health and Human Services (US Public Health Service in peacetime), and Commerce (NOAA in peacetime), do exercise both operational and administrative controls over those Services, if not transferred to the DoD in time of war or national emergency.The Secretary of Transportation also has a role, exercising controls over the Maritime Administration and the Maritime Service, and in certain aspects parts of the US merchant marine (as an industry, an “auxiliary to the US Navy” as defined in US law).But, none of those Worthies (except the President and the SecDef) exercise “command” over US military forces acting in a military capacity, and the commander and officers below them use the authorities delegated to them through the President and SecDef.The SecDHS and the Commandant of the Coast Guard exercise authorities through Title 14, and while US statute (14 USC 101) states the USCG is always an armed force and a military service, the functions, roles, and missions performed when under Title 14 authority are not directly “military” in the same sense that DoD exercises military authorities. Only when the USCG is transferred to the Department of the Navy in time of war or national emergency does the USCG exercise Title 10 military authorities, functions, roles, and missions under command of the SecDef and the Combatant Commanders.A note about the States and Territories. Under each of their Constitutions and statutes, the authorities of the Governor and Adjutant General are defined, so that a clear chain of command exists for exercise of command and control over state militia forces, including the 54 State Army National Guards, the 54 State Air National Guards, and the 6 Naval Militias (Alaska, California, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, and Texas).Additionally, each State and Territory has authority to establish, train, fund, and equip their own State Defense Force (howsoever named within each State), such as the Texas Guard, the California State Military Reserve, etc. At this time, 26 states have some form of SDF, with a total of about 15,000 servicemembers. The SDF’s have no federal existence, and cannot be called into federal service in their State-only formation, and serve only under State command and control, i.e., the Governor and the Adjutant General, and their appointed subordinate state militia commanders.Finally, each State and Territory has established definitions and certain procedures for their “unorganized militia,” which in most states follows the Federal unorganized militia definition, i.e., able-bodied males between ages 18 and 45, but in some states accounts for all able-bodied adults. If called into State service, these members of the unorganized militia would be organized as the State Governor determines is appropriate. (If called into Federal service, the States would assist in calling and organizing these militia, and transferring command and control to the Militia of the United States as soon as possible, i.e., the US Army and the National Guard Bureau would assume C2 over them…excepting the Naval Militia, which would be transferred to the US Navy for further service…)Returning now to the original question of how to associate civilian positions, after we disposed of the higher ranking political appointees and elected positions throughout the Republic, from Mayors on up, let’s turn briefly to any “equivalency” between military members and private industry…Simply put: there is none.No member of private industry has any “standing” or “authority” or equivalency to any member of a federal or state military organization…Even the CEO of the largest private companies in the US cannot give a single order to any military member, and rates no special treatment, no salutes, only professional treatment.But…in a thought experiment, can we at least give a little bit of transference?We can’t really give equivalence since the size and function of companies varies so much, whether for-profit with hundreds of thousands of employees, or a one-person non-profit. Is the CEO of a single-person non-profit equal to the CEO of Boeing, Microsoft, Wal-Mart? I can’t make that distinction.We can, however, give voice to certain common private organization functions as related to the standard military organization:The CEO and/or President (howsoever defined by each company’s charter and incorporation) might be equivalent to a “commander,” whether of a squad, or a platoon, or a company, or battalion, regiment, brigade, division, corps, even army (or field army for something like Wal-Mart…),The Vice Presidents (of various numbers and flavors and job descriptions) might be “executive officers,” “second in commands,” and “Staff officers,” or perhaps if they are in operational charge of corporate functions, they might be “subordinate commanders.”The Chief Financial Officer might be equivalent to the Comptroller,The VP for Human Resources might be equivalent to the “G-1” or “S-1” or “Manpower/Personnel Officer.”The VP for Operations might be equivalent to the “G-3” or “S-3” or “Operations Officer.” (Or based on the nature of the private organization’s composition and functions, “Operations” might instead be logistically based, or even civil-military functionally such as an NGO that works predominantly in war-torn overseas areas…it depends).Etc.Various line authorities such as Directors, supervisors, managers, etc., roughly fit into “subordinate commander” positions, or “noncommissioned officer” positions, where they act as the interface between “management” and “employees,” enacting orders from above and directing the activities of the rank and file.And then you have the specialists, researchers, scientists, who don’t fit neatly into most company structures, and don’t really fit neatly into the military structure, either, often with either too much or too little rank and authority (and pay) to reflect their actual skills…Lastly, you have the “rank and file,” those employees of both the military and most companies that do the daily work, whether blue collar or white collar; they are roughly the privates through junior NCO’s who make up the vast majority of both private organizations and the military.Footnotes[1] Combatant Commands
