This narrative documents changes in the organizational structure the current State Guard has experienced since 1981, as well as changes in the organizational patch, tabs and badges, the awards system, which has greatly expanded from the simple red ribbon of the WWII State Guard into a full selection of awards for every contingency.

Nearly two hundred thousand scholarly books and monographs have been published about the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era during the last two hundred years. The approaching bicentennial of these events will undoubtedly result in an extensive reexamination of this period. This work, designed as a companion volume to Owen Connelly's Historical Dictionary of Napoleonic France, 1799-1815 (Greenwood Press, 1985), expands Connelly's work to include most of the generally available books published since 1945. The book is designed to direct researchers to the materials which are best suited for their inquiry and which might otherwise be overlooked. In this way it serves as a useful research tool, providing a summary of all that is currently available.
