Traditional militia building

If there isn't a militia or paramilitary group for your area - MAKE ONE!

Building a militia or para-military group is the efforts to create an organisation designed to function and perform as a military unit. The organisation may start out as a street demonstrating organisation like the EDL or it may start of as a paramilitary organisation. The organisation may need to be established in a clever way to avoid scrutiny or perhaps even state persecution. Covers such as a “Modern Warfare” club, a Boy Scout organisation or a street demonstrating organisation may work as efficient covers. The organisation must ensure that it follows all laws to avoid persecution and deconstruction efforts by the government. No illegal weapons should be acquired as it may jeopardise the organisation as a whole.Various forms of deception is likely to be required in phase 1 (2010-2030).

A leader or founder of a local militia must initially fulfill the following roles until he is able to delegate tasks to fellow officers/leaders:

· Administrative officer

· Communications officer (diplomatic role, handling PR, and building political alliances)

· Intelligence officer

· Recruitment officer

· Training officer

· Utility/equipment (acquisition) officer

· Safe storage officer (weaponry/ammunition/armour storage caches)

· Vehicle/vehicle repair officer

Establishing a HQ

Military organisations of all types must support a wide range of administrative functions including personnel management, accounting, and procurement. Some facilities are quite similar to civilian office buildings while others are converted from other military uses and can be quite idiosyncratic.

A small facility, farm (rural) or office space (urban) may be set up for administrative purposes (does not have to consist of more than 1-2 rooms in the beginning)

Commissary Facilities

Traditionally, military units provided most of the rations, uniforms, and other supplies needed by most military personnel. However, modern units often provide fewer items and many personnel must buy some items with their own funds. Personnel with families also must buy food, clothing, and other necessities for the family.

Temporary solutions may involve sharing a room in the HQ.

Mess

“Mess” is the military term for any facility serving food to large groups. Some mess halls in remote locations can be rudimentary, but others in established locations can be similar to modern cafeterias.

Temporary arrangements can be made with the local café, cafeteria or restaurant.
