Today, the state militia in the United States is primarily represented by the National Guard. The National Guard serves as a reserve military force that can be mobilized for federal missions or state emergencies, such as natural disasters or civil unrest.

Additionally, some states may have other organized militia groups, but the National Guard is the most recognized and widely used state militia today.

Where did the National Guard come from?
The National Guard has its roots in the colonial militias of the American colonies, which were established for local defense and community security. The modern National Guard was formally organized in 1903 with the Militia Act, which allowed for the federal funding and regulation of state militias. Today, it serves as both a state and federal force, providing support during emergencies, disasters, and military operations. The dual role distinguishes the National Guard from regular military forces, allowing it to respond to local needs while also serving national defense objectives.
