It states: [Congress shall have the power to] provide for organizing, arming and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed...

They would have been considered federal employees for purposes of participation in the civil service retirement system if they were appointed by another employee in the civil service system. But, because they were appointed by the state Adjutants General, they were not eligible to participate in the civil service retirement system. This situation was somewhat remedied in 1968 when Pub.L.
