22 STATE DEFENSE FORCES·EVERY RANK & AWARD BUILT IN·SERIOUS SOFTWARE, PRICED FOR VOLUNTEERS
When the governor calls, State Defense Forces can't run a disaster on a clipboard. Guidon gives them real-time command, control, and accountability of every soldier and every asset— so they marshal the resources, accomplish the mission, and bring their people home.

Track soldiers and assets live, issue orders and poll availability in seconds, and turn the whole operation into instant ICS briefings and FEMA reimbursement reports. It's professional-grade command and control, engineered to be genuinely great software at a price a State Defense Force can actually justify — the enterprise capability, without the enterprise price tag.

Prepare. Respond. Learn.

Guidon runs the whole cycle of a callout — the readiness before the governor dials, command and accountability while you're deployed, and the hard data after that funds and sharpens your next response.

PREPARE
Before the call
  • ›Track every soldier's qualifications & certifications, with a currency watch so nothing lapses quietly
  • ›Soldiers maintain their own records — command validates each one, item by item
  • ›Know exactly who's qualified and ready before the governor ever dials
RESPOND
When it's live
  • ›Issue operations orders digitally through the app — not buried in an email chain
  • ›Poll availability in real time — available / unavailable — instead of burning critical minutes on the phone
  • ›Command sees every soldier and asset in the field on one live map, with automatic timestamped logs — full accountability of your people and every state resource
LEARN
After action
  • ›Every activation becomes accurate, defensible data — person-hours and equipment time for FEMA reimbursement
  • ›After-action reports built from the live record, not from memory
  • ›Use the proof to advocate for more funding — and find exactly where to improve

“I'm proud of these men and women who answered the call to take on this important mission. When the need is greatest in their communities, these Guard members will be ready to answer the call.”
— GOV. RON DESANTIS · FIRST FLORIDA STATE GUARD GRADUATION, 2023

You don't answer the call for a paycheck — you answer it for your neighbors, your county, and your state. Guidon has your back: ready when the governor calls, accounted for in the field, and never without the resources to bring everyone home.

When the state calls,
they're already moving.

Watch it happen: soldiers roll in from every corner of the state, check in by GPS, and reach the scene — each one accounted for in real time. This is the picture your command sees the second an activation opens.

Ribbon Rack Builder

Every federal award and badge, your state's catalog on top — auto-arranged by precedence with devices and unit citations to regulation. Export and share.

Every State's Awards

Pick your force; each state guard keeps its own living catalog. Big-box builders stop at National Guard sets — nobody maintains SDF catalogs. We do.

Personnel Folder

Rank with real insignia, service history, prior service, specialty, photo, and a scan-in member ID — the paper folder, digitized.

Certification Tracking

ICS, EMS, fire, SAR, comms — expirations tracked with a currency watch so nothing lapses quietly.

Deployment Log

Every activation you answer, timestamped — the deployment history that proves your service.

Respond From Anywhere

Alert, acknowledge, one-tap directions to staging, GPS check-in, out-of-service breaks, checkout. Your availability tells command when you can't.

Run the force. Prove the response.

From the first radio call to the final after-action report — issue orders, track your people and assets, and keep command's picture accurate the whole way through.

Roster & Vetting

Invite one by one, share join links, or import hundreds. Vet each soldier's claims item by item — every decision stamped and audit-chained.

Verified Readiness

Strength, availability, and what you can field — computed only from unit-verified, current credentials. NIMS baseline at a glance.

Activations & Accountability

Warning orders and activations scoped to units, with DSCA categories and ICS points of contact. Acknowledge → check-in → out-of-service → complete, all DTG-stamped.

Command Board

A live common operating picture — your soldiers and assets on a real map, with sections, teams, and contact numbers.

Assets & Equipment

Vehicles, boats, generators, comms — callsigns, ready/deployed status, map positions, and automatic ICS resource summaries.

FEMA Paperwork, Generated

ICS-201 / 204 and personnel time reports from live data, with person-hours for reimbursement. Print or share to your EOC by link.

Your Structure, Your Rules

Build your unit tree, award catalog, specialties, and EOP designation. Nothing is hardcoded to any one state.

Granted Authorities

Issue-orders, verify-records, manage-roster — granted per person by the organization, not locked to titles.

Tamper-Evident Records

Every verification, activation, and status change lands on a hash-chained audit log. The answer always exists.

One soldier, or a whole state — the same platform

Start as a single soldier. When a unit stands up, it takes you in and covers you. When your state goes official, it covers every unit. You're never billed twice — and only the organization can fly Official.

Go Official

You're always covered by exactly one payer — whoever is highest above you. Get taken onto a roster and they pick up your bill; yours stops. A unit can claim your force, but it stays provisional — only the organization earns the Official ✓ tag.

Legacy command platforms cost many times more and require a formal RFP. Guidon delivers the same capability — deployed today, no RFP required.
