I seem to recall that most states have a statutory definition of the militia, but currently no organized militia. For Wyoming, WS § 19-8-101 et seq., http://michie.lexisnexis.com/wyoming/lpext.dll?f=templates&fn=main-h.htm Wyoming also has something called the "State Guard", which some people around here think is the organized militia. WS § 19-10-101 > Also didn't the Governor of Deleware call > out his unorganized militia to patrol seacoast beaches in WWII? I seem to recall that was Maryland. Also, the US Army put together something called the Alaska Territorial Guard. They were guides and other folk familiar with Alaska, and provide their own kit, including weapons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Territorial_Guard I seem to recall something not mentioned in the Wikipedia article, that ATG members were part of the invasions of Attu and Kiska, scouting the islands prior to regular Army landings. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
