All moneys including company funds, of which the commanding officer or other officer or employee is the custodian, shall be deposited in a national bank or a bank incorporated under the laws of this State. All moneys, funds, bonds, securities, property or other assets held in trust for or on behalf of any National Guard units or organizations or the commanding officers thereof, by the State of California, the State Treasurer, or other public or trust officer, may be paid to such units or organizations to be used for military purposes upon demand of the National Guard units or organizations or the commanding officers thereof provided the Adjutant General shall have approved such payment. If the National Guard units or organizations which made said payment or delivered said property in trust is or are not in existence, then said moneys, funds, bonds, securities, property or other assets so held in trust may be paid or delivered upon like demand to the successor or successors of said units or organizations. A National Guard unit or units or organizations shall be a successor or successors within the meaning of this section if it or they is or are located at, and its or their members reside in, the same general area as its or their predecessor. The order of the Adjutant General determining that a unit or units or an organization is or are a successor or successors within the meaning of this section shall be conclusive of the fact. If no National Guard unit or units is or are organized in said general area as a successor or successors then the said moneys, funds, bonds, securities, property or other assets so held in trust may be paid or delivered upon like demand and approval to the next highest organized unit in the echelon of command that includes the said general area of said former units or organizations that may have deposited said property or assets in trust as aforesaid. All money, funds, bonds, securities, property or other asssets paid or delivered to any National Guard unit or units or organization pursuant to this section shall be used for military purposes and the benefit of such unit or units or organization receiving the same, and if not so used shall be paid or delivered to the Adjutant General upon his demand and who shall in turn transmit the same to the State Treasurer in augmentation of the appropriations for military purposes. All of said units and organizations shall render an accounting to the Adjutant General upon demand and at least once in each calendar year.
