This series provides information on the evolution of Florida's military forces from 1893 to 1960. The unit information cards cover three time periods: pre-World War II, 1890s-1940s (Florida State Militia, Florida State Troops, and Florida National Guard); World War II, 1941-1947 (Florida State Guard); and post World War II, 1940s-1960s. The unit cards in each time period contain information on the creation of the unit, any organizational changes, names of commanding officers, and any active state or federal service performed. A less extensive file provides information on the units of the Florida Air National Guard from the 1940s to 1960s.
