They need to design really cool Florida Militia uniforms now.

Texas has the Rangers so why not I guess. You know this kind of thing isn't that precedented. Historically border territories, frontiers or "marshes" as they're known usually have their own defense forces specialized in protecting that regions borders. The Scots had the border reivers, The Seleucids had the Klerochoi who were military settlers paid in land for service on the border. The Sassanian Persians had the Herzog who as a general given special control of the the militias in the region bordering Islamic Arabia. It's not an unheard of thing. I would insist that the "militia" so to speak in beholden to the governorship and not the governor himself. Florida is techinically a border state. On top of this it is a drug smuggling hot bed and those criminal enterprises do not only happen in cities and so force specializing in reducing transnational crime is not a bad idea.
