Rhode Island · Military Affairs and Defense · §§ 30-1-1 to 30-1-1 · 1 section
Overview
The Military Code governs a state's organized militia and military forces, defining the terms used throughout, establishing who is a member, and specifying which persons are exempt from service. It designates the governor as commander-in-chief, authorizing the issuance of rules and the appointment of a military staff, and requires the state's military law and regulations to conform to those of the United States armed forces. It also addresses the authority of military forces to continue a fresh pursuit beyond ordinary jurisdictional boundaries, and provides protections connected with military service.
