ABOUT STATE ACTIVE DUTY

When the Governor calls on the National Guard, Alaska State Defense Force, or Naval Militia to respond to a disaster or other emergency, the state is obligated to compensate members of the Guard or Militia for the time spent in state active duty. Members are called by their command, orders are written and delivered to DAS. DAS calculates the pay earned based on statute and federal compensation rates. This calculation is controlled by AS 26.05.260.
