Nope - the state militias are exempted from service in the federal military, including via the draft:
> A defense force established under this section may be used within the jurisdiction concerned, as its chief executive (or commanding general in the case of the District of Columbia) considers necessary, but it may not be called, ordered, or drafted into the armed forces.
Military members aren’t allowed to join them for that reason.

- dragonwriter 5y ago> the state militias are exempted from service in the federal military ...by act of Congress, which is reversible by act of Congress, which is exactly what it would take to actually activate a draft anyway. Constitutionally they are just as subject to Congress power to call forth the militia as anyone else.
