of [State] at the age of 18-70. There shall be no discrimination due to, race, sex,
national origin or physical characteristics. Membership is voluntary.
All prospective members shall be required to give their name, date of birth, address,
contact information, next of kin, and general information detailing prior military
experience and/or other such skills as may be utilized by the militia.
All such information shall be kept private under all circumstances, and destroyed in
the event of crisis; And shall be used for no other purpose than the internal business
of the unit.
All members will be required to pass a ninety day probationary period after which the
are required to subscribe to the Code of Conduct and swear or affirm the
membership oath.
Personal Equipment:
Each member will be issued an itemized list of certain personal and Unit equipment
which he must procure and maintain. This equipment is necessary to the
performance of his duties, personal sustenance and hygiene; and shall be maintained
packed and ready for deployment at all times. A 20 minute or shorter departure
capability is strongly recommended.
Each member shall bring with them enough food rations and water to sustain them
during meetings, training and camp musters.
Weapons and Ammunition:
Each member is required to provide and maintain his own weapons, stocks of
ammunition and deployment gear. Members are required to remain proficient in the
maintenance and safe operation of their weapon; and to have on hand at all times
300 rounds for the rifle and 100 rounds per sidearm. Lacking the depth, resources
and re-supply capabilities of a conventional military unit; militia members are urged
to acquire at least 2000 rounds of ammunition and 6 magazines per rifle as well as a
cleaning kit and spare parts. Standardization in caliber and weapons type within each
unit is strongly encouraged. Only in self-defense or during properly supervised
training sessions will a member discharge his weapons. All members are expected to
abide by all Constitutional State firearms regulations.
Training:
All active duty members will be expected to pass Level One line qualifications.
Support personnel will train in their assigned area of duty.
Assembly and Muster:
Periodic assemblies, musters and meetings are necessary and shall be called to
achieve the overall goals of each unit. Regular monthly meetings shall be conducted
on the third Saturday or Sunday. Members must discipline themselves to schedule
and set aside time each month for musters and assembly for such purposes as field
training exercises. Therefore, members who miss 3 consecutive meetings without a
reasonable excuse will be dropped from the role. Members will be notified of such
dates, times, and places of all meetings.
While it is intended that the militia intrude as little as possible in the lives of it's
members, it is clear that individual members are volunteers who must be ready to
meet periodically and to deploy as need arises. It will be the objective of the
Command Staff to infringe as little as possible on the time of it's members,
recognizing the responsibilities of family and job.
