Article II "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep & bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Purposes & Authority of the Militia:
The purpose of the militia as defined by the Constitution is to:
1. Enforce the laws of the Union (The Constitution)
2. Suppress insurrections
3. Repel invasions
CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN OF 1963
ARTICLE I. DECLARATION OF RIGHTS
MCL Const. 1963, Art. 1, | 6 (1992)
| 6. Bearing of arms.
Sec. 6. Every person has a right to keep and bear arms for the defense of himself and the state.
These provisions affirm the right of the people to defend themselves & their republican form of government from all enemies, both foreign & domestic. That means that the people, as the militia have the right to fight, if necessary.
To be "well-regulated" the group must be organized, have an effective means of communications, transport & logistic support. Unit & individual effectiveness, & perhaps even survival, depends upon consistent, frequent training, group familiarity, & the ability to work together as a unit. A regular established program is essential in effective organization at the state & county level.
All of Michigan`s 83 counties are identified as a Brigade regardless of size with tactical organization varying in each MILITIA Brigade.
Brigade means "A tactical unit & administrative unit composed of a headquarters with supporting units."
Each of the 83 MILITIA Brigades in Michigan is commanded by a Major -
Lt Colonel in the MILITIA rank system. The 83 MILITIA Brigades are organized into 9 MILITIA Divisions each MILITIA Division is commanded by a Colonel in the MILITIA rank system.
Michigan`s 83 MILITIA Brigades
9 MILITIA Divisions also known as MILITIA Corps are commanded by a State Command.
The militia embodies the spirit, ideals of our forefathers & is comprised of men & women who are committed to defend our Constitutional Republic, Nation, state & county.
An unquenchable patriotic spirit compels us to stand for the individual freedoms, liberty, & sovereignty guaranteed by our Constitution. The militia must stand for what is moral, lawful & right if it is to prevail in adversity.
Though the militia does not stand alone. Whenever possible units should work to enlist the support of the community, auxiliary members, & law enforcement. Militia units should in turn support their local elected officials, sheriff, or police force in the lawful exercise of their authority.
A Militiaman is simply any citizen in his capacity as a defender of the community, who is obliged to do so within his or her ability. Being a Militia is a role which citizens may fulfill, as the situation requires it is not a permanent condition. But just as each citizen has a duty to defend the community, he also has the duty to prepare himself to fulfill that role effectively, and to join with others in his community to train and to function as organized forces; and the elected officials of his community have the duty to facilitate that organization and training. If those officials fail in their duty, the Militiaman must carry on without their participation.
A citizen may be required to fulfill the duties of a militiaman doing so of their own free will.
It is suggested that each militiaman train him or herself to conduct actions in this role & train with their County & State Militia.
There are many different roles a militiaman can fulfill from information cell, organizing, training, support, to conducting action.
Two militiamen are considered a rifle team & should be friends or close acquaintances whom work well together.
A fire team is 2 rifle teams whom train together to conduct actions.
Their training consist of more than just basic & advance marksmanship. It covers current events, fitness, first aid, means of communication, reporting, observation, cover, concealment, camouflage, movement, land navigation, tracking, tactics, employment, mission planning, survival preparedness, all season camping & community roles in leadership.
The citizen's private life is where these skills will be used the most. Since the militiaman is the leader of their "family unit" he or she is responsible first to him or herself their home & work life in defending their personal freedoms through peaceful personal conflict resolution & legal action.
It is only in the most "extreme case scenario in defense of ones own life or the immediate life of another person(s)" that a person(s) would have to take the role of armed citizen militia. This must be practiced & prepared for to develop the necessary skills to defend oneself, family, team member(s) & community.
