Sec. 151.
The governor is the commander-in-chief of the organized militia. He may order to active state service any members of the organized militia in case of riot, tumult, breach of the peace, resistance of process, or for service in aid of civil authority, whether state or federal, or in time of actual or imminent public danger, disaster, crisis, catastrophe or other public emergency within this state or to respond to acts or threats of terrorism or to safeguard military or other vital resources of this state or of the United States. If the governor and his legal successor are absent, disabled, or cannot be communicated with, the adjutant general, if he believes the danger great and imminent, may order out, in the name of the governor, such troops of the organized militia as he believes necessary to meet the emergency.
