or riot, or imminent danger thereof, the governor may increase such force temporarily to meet
such emergency. All appointed officers of the state staff corps and detachment must have had
previous military experience and shall hold their positions until they have reached the age of

to be determined by an efficiency board or a court-martial legally convened for that purpose, as
the exigencies of the case may warrant. Vacancies among said officers must be filled by
appointment from the officers of the national guard or from other classes eligible under federal
law or regulation.
