Biographical/Historical:     The Florida Legislature created the Military Department in 1921 (Chapter 8502, Laws of Florida). The head of the department was the Adjutant General, and its headquarters were in St. Augustine. The Military Department and the Adjutant General controlled the Florida units of the National Guard; supervised all the arms, troops, branches, and stores of the Guard; and transported and supported any armed forces required by the state to maintain law and order. The Military Department became the Department of Military Affairs in 1973 (Ch 73-93, Laws). The state militia has existed since territorial days, becoming the Florida State Troops in 1887 (Ch. 3707, Laws) and the Florida National Guard in 1909 (Ch. 5930, Laws).

    The State Quartermaster, selected by the Adjutant General, is responsible for the distribution, management, and maintenance of all Department of Military Affairs property, including real estate and facilities.
Summary:     This series contains the numbered correspondence of the State Quartermaster. The correspondence deals primarily with logistical subjects such as supplies, vehicles, maintenance, food, and weapons. The series is incomplete because of the destruction of deteriorated microfilm and the loss of microfilm rolls prior to transfer to the Florida State Archives. There is a partial index at the beginning of the series.
