California Cadet Corps


The California Cadet Corps (CACC) is a paramilitary youth organization in California open to students in the college, high school, middle school and elementary school grades.
Established through statute in 1911, it has trained more than a million young people. It is one of five budgeted youth programs of the CMD. The California Military and Veterans Code (MVC Section 517) authorizes CACC units as part of all regular schools, for all children in the state. The CACC is a statewide, school-based, applied leadership program conducted within a military framework. Its primary goal was originally to prepare young men to be officers in the United States military, after Brigadier General Edwin A. Forbes saw that the Germans already had such programs before World War I. The program's goal has since expanded not only to prepare young men and women for military service, but also for the business world, where communication and leadership skills are essential.
The CaCC's current objectives are to:

Develop leadership, citizenship and patriotism
Promote academic excellence
Encourage personal health and wellness
Teach basic military subjects
These expanded goals provide personal growth and leadership opportunities for cadets from middle school through high school levels. Activities include summer encampments, field training (including land navigation), marksmanship, and military drill competitions.
The development and maintenance of the CACC's individual units is a shared responsibility of the local school authorities and the CMD. Commandants must be credentialed by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and appointed by the Adjutant General.
In accordance with Sections 509–512 of the California Military and Veterans Code, the CMD is responsible for providing uniforms and equipment, developing curriculum, and conducting state level competitions, activities, and awards programs for the cadets. The CMD provides in-service and pre-service training for adult commandants and volunteers across the state. The CMD is also responsible for issuing state orders for officers and enlisted personnel and updating Commandant and Cadet Regulations.
The CACC program is offered through the school as a component of its school mission and curriculum. The CACC military science class can be taken as an elective, or for credit as a substitute for physical education—a decision each school or district makes based on the course of instruction provided, the instructors' credentials, and the alignment of the curriculum with state standards. California State Content Standards in health, science, physical education, social science, language arts, English language development, and mathematics are embedded in the CACC curriculum's content and activities.
The CACC serves as the “national model” for school-based applied leadership programs, and is designed to:

Support and enhance academic achievement
Provide training and applied leadership opportunities
Foster good citizenship and patriotism
Provide basic military knowledge
Promote health, fitness and wellness
The CACC provides a structured learning environment to facilitate academic success, leadership development, physical training and improved self-esteem through attaining achievable goals. It continues to receive support from the education community and civic leaders throughout California.




Unorganized militia


The unorganized militia of California is the fourth component of the state militia,
comprising, like the other three active militia components, all able-bodied male residents of the state between 18 and 45 years of age and other persons who have voluntarily applied and are otherwise eligible to serve.: §122 
The unorganized militia may be called for active duty in case of "war, rebellion, insurrection, invasion, tumult, riot, breach of the peace, public calamity or catastrophe, or other emergency, or imminent danger" of such an event: §128  by the Governor or officers designated by the Governor.: §123 
That is, the unorganized militia consists of ordinary persons not in active military service but liable or willing to serve, who may be called for active duty by the Governor in case of utter emergency. The name unorganized militia is confusing because of the dated language of the statute; it refers simply to the selective service pool of the state military in modern sense. In particular, it must not be confused with paramilitary organizations, colloquially called "militias" in the modern language, which operate outside of the state military authority. Paramilitary organizations are prohibited by law in California.
