In any State Guard/State Defence Force, the training is typically going to be more oriented towards Search-and-Rescue and CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) activities than actual tactical military training, in order to further facilitate the National Guard in their mission for the state. Most SG/SDF units I've known of have one weekend per month of training (for some units, it may only be one day of that weekend), and may or may not have an Annual Training period each year (typically, one week vs. the two weeks of the National Guard). Membership in these forces is voluntary, requiring one who volunteers to purchase their own uniforms and equipment, although members typically are paid when called up for state activation.
