The Kentucky State Guard was actually part of the antebellum militia which existed in America. The Kentucky legislature enacted an ordinance to reorganize the commonwealth's militia in its 1859-60 session. The law was signed by the governor on March 5, 1860:

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky That the Kentucky Militia shall be divided into three classes: 1st The Active or Volunteer Militia 2nd. The Enrolled Militia 3rd. The Militia of the Reserves. The Volunteer of Active Militia shall be styled the Kentucky State Guard.

Scott Brown, the Adjutant General of the Kentucky Militia at that point began a book recording orders and appointments for the State Guard. The information in the following pages is taken from that record book, held by the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives, Frankfort, Kentucky.

On May 5, 1860 Governor Beriah Magoffin appointed Simon B. Buckner inspector general of the Kentucky State Guard with the rank of Major General. Buckner held this post until he resigned on July 23, 1861. Other officers of the Kentucky State Guard and their ranks are presented in the following table:
