A:
No, Vermont has not adopted Title 10 of the United States Code, which includes the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), for its Title 32 guardsmen.
Title 32 of the United States Code governs the National Guard when it is not in federal service, while Title 10 governs the National Guard when it is in federal service. The UCMJ is a set of laws that applies to all members of the U.S. military, including National Guard members, regardless of whether they are in federal or state service.
Each state has its own laws and regulations that govern its National Guard, and these laws may differ from federal laws. In Vermont, the Vermont Code Annotated (VCA) governs the state's National Guard.
It is important for National Guard members to understand the laws and regulations that apply to them, both at the federal and state levels, in order to ensure that they are in compliance and to protect their legal rights.
