Whenever the Connecticut National Guard is called into the federal service or whenever such a call, in the opinion of the Governor, is deemed to be imminent, the Governor shall forthwith raise, organize, maintain and govern, from the unorganized militia, a body of troops for military duty. Said body of troops, when so organized, shall be known as “the Connecticut State Guard” and for and during the time of its existence as herein provided it shall be a part of the organized militia.
