Role
The Colonial Militia is comprised of citizens to provide defense, emergency or paramilitary service, or those engaged in such activity.
The word can have somewhat different meanings:
- Defense activity, as well as those engaged in it, when it is defense of the public, its territory, property, and laws.
- The entire able-bodied population of a community, town, or state, available to be called to arms against an invading enemy, to enforce the law, or to respond to a disaster.
- A private, non-government force, not necessarily directly supported or sanctioned by its government.
- An official reserve army, composed of citizen soldiers. Called by various name in different countries such as; the Army Reserve, National Guard, or State Defense Forces.
Operational History
They fought during the Battle of Harvest against the Covenant and were the first humans to make contact with, and fight the Covenant. After almost half the militia was killed, they were able to rescue as many survivors as they could. After the battle, they were enlisted in the Marine Corps.
During late 2552 unorganized Colonial Militia units also fought during the First and Second Battle of Earth at Mombasa and Cleveland.
