Best Answer

The National Guard was activated and transferred to the active Army during these wars. For those who could not serve in the military, states created unorganised militias (often called "State Guard Forces", "State Defence Forces", et. al) in order to have a force on-hand which could fulfill the state role the National Guard normally would fulfill if they hadn't been activated, as well as serve as a home-based force to prevent incursions into the US, spot U-boats and Zeppelins, etc.
