Maine 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.
