All officers, warrant officers, and enlisted persons of the militia and all persons on duty with the militia shall give any bonds and security as may be required and within the time prescribed by the Adjutant General to secure the state against loss on account of misuse or misapplication of state or company property or funds or the property or funds of the United States in use by the State of California. All bonds shall be conditioned upon the faithful performance of all duties and the accounting for all property and moneys, including organization funds, for which the obligee is responsible or accountable. The Adjutant General may in lieu of the foregoing enter into an agreement conditioned in like terms and for the same purpose with a qualified surety company to bond all officers, warrant officers, and enlisted persons of the militia, and all persons on duty with the militia without specifically naming them. The agreement shall also provide that the report and final action of military or naval authorities having jurisdiction for fixing responsibility for loss or damage shall be conclusive proof of the responsibility or liability of any officer, warrant officer, or enlisted person in a suit brought to enforce the obligation of the bond. The premiums on bonds shall be charged to those funds appropriated for the support of the militia as the Governor directs.
