State militas are in the command structure of the US military.

No, state militias are entirely state and independent of the fed altogether - they can’t be federalized.

In fact the “military” is a product of the states as the state national guards are and have always been the main strength of the regular forces.

When Lincoln needed an army he went to the governors.
