Such agreements shall set forth the specific interstate bridges, structures or facilities for which each state is to provide military protection, if required by war or military emergency, or if requested under such circumstances by the appropriate authorities of the armed forces of the United States. The agreements may authorize the entrance into and the continued presence within this state of the military forces of such other states whenever and to such extent as may be required to carry out the purposes of this subdivision. A copy of each such interstate agreement shall be furnished by the adjutant general to such persons as he may deem necessary.
