In most states, State Defense Force members may wear any regular United States Military Decoration s and United States Military Decoration s that they may have earned while members of the National Guard and/or while in federal active duty service. The members of some State Defense Forces may also be awarded state National Guard Military Decoration s in addition to State Defense Force awards while serving in a State Defense Force capacity. The order of precedence for the wear of the awards are: federal, state National Guard, then State Defense Force.

Those State Defense Force members who subsequently serve in the active or reserve federal forces of the United States Army , Navy , Marine Corps , Coast Guard , or United States Air Force (i.e., on active duty or as members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard Reserves) may not continue to wear and display such decorations on a military uniform. Active duty regulations allow their members to accept but not wear state National Guard awards.
