VDF History
The Virginia Defense Force (VDF) volunteer tradition goes back to the earlies days of Colonial Virginia. From the 1600s until World War I, our state was defended largely by state-raised militia units. During World Wars I and II, while the Virginia National Guard was called into Federal Service, the Virginia State Guard served as the "Home Guard."
