== "State defense forces" ==
[[State defense forces]] has a hatnote for countries/states/nations, but there doesn't seem to be an article for [[provincial military]]/[[provincial militaries]], the general topic for "state defense force" that this U.S. focused article should have as a more general wider coverage article parent. The U.S. is not the only country with "states" as subnational divisions, nor the only country where subnational divisions have their own militaries. Just look at [[Somaliland]] and [[Puntland]], with significant militaries that are greater than that of the central government. Historically, satrapies Chinese prefectures/provinces/circuits, Roman provinces, have had major militaries. Feudal lords that were not sovereign have usually held substantial militaries under the suzerainty of the respective sovereign crowns. So this seems to be a major omission, considering there is already a U.S. focused article.
