The commanding officer of any unit of the National Guard is the legal custodian of the money, property, and effects of the unit, whether the property is owned by the unit, or its members collectively, or has been issued to it or any of its officers, for its use, by the state or by the authority of the United States. The commanding officer may sue for the recovery and possession of any such property that is wrongfully withheld from the commanding officer's custody or the custody of the unit.
