In the summer of 1917, the
Colorado Reserve Service was organized as a unit consisting of five companies: companies A, B, and C of the Third Regiment; and A and B of Colored Infantry. They were called into active service for guard duty on public utilities and reservoir projects on 1 August 1917. The
152:
largest total of men on active duty was 409 in
September 1917; the smallest was 168 in October 1918. After the war, late in 1918, the 3rd Colorado Infantry and Troop "A" of the Colorado Cavalry received federal recognition as National Guard units.
160:
In June 1941, the defense force, consisting of 200 men, was officially named the "Colorado state defense force of the state of
Colorado." By 30 June 1944, the Colorado State Defense Force had reached a strength of 641 soldiers.
