Militia Introduction
What is the militia?
The term "militia" consists of two parts: the organized militia
and the unorganized militia. According to the organic Maine Constitution
and backed by the United States Code, the organized militia is the
standing military force in the state (the "State Guard") while
the unorganized militia (which is commonly called the militia) consists of
all other males between the ages of 17 and 45 (or 65 if they have prior
military service). The militia was established for the purpose of
defending the state (a sovereign nation) and the United States of America
(a union of nations) from all enemies "foreign and domestic"
based upon principles of community self defense established hundreds of
years before the nation was formed. However, while the organized militia
was tasked with the defenses of the states, our forefathers, having just
fought their own government, did not place their entire trust in the
government or a standing army to protect them but reserved the right and
the means to protect themselves - thus the unorganized militia. The
militia was and is a defensive body set up so that its members can take
care of normal peace by internal lawless elements, or government
usurpation of the rights and power of the people guaranteed by the
Constitution, there is a group of people that owe their allegiance to no
one except God and their fellow Americans who desire to remain free.
The mission and
purpose of the militia have not changed. What has changed is the
status of the organized militia. The "State Guard" with the duty
and obligation of protecting the state is now under federal jurisdiction
(the "National Guard") thereby obligating it only to the federal
government making the unorganized militia the only constitutional force
available for the defense of the state.
The members of the
Maine Militia takes this obligation very seriously and have pledged to
uphold the Constitution of Maine and the United States of America, support
the chief peace officers of the state, the County Sheriffs, and aid their
fellow citizens whenever possible.
