Answer 3

In the United States case, in the event that a emergency occurs that would require military rule, a military officer would probably be appointed at the state or federal level. If there is an emergency within a state that requires military rule, the states national guard would probably be activated in the event local law enforcement can't control a situation on their own. Every state national guard is usually commanded by either a brigadier general, major general, or rarely a lieutenant general. But the ultimate authority is the state governor unless the national guard burea is directed by a federal authority to fall under their juristiction. Active duty personnel can also be called into service if it's in the federal government's interest and/or the state authority (governor) asks for it. So depending on the situation the ultimate authority can be several different figures, which could even be all the way up to the President of the United States, as the supreme commander of the Armed Forces. So the general structure of any military branch starts with the president, then the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, then the secretaries of either the Air Force, Army, or Navy, followed by either the Army Chief of Staff, Air Force Chief of Staff, Chief of Naval Operations, and the Marine Corps Commandant. From there on down it can get very complicated with MAJCOM commanders, base commanders, unit commanders, national guard commanders, etc. etc.
