The minutesman
Minutemen were patriots who could be ready to fight at a minutes notice.
From earliest colonial times every man in the colonies was a member of the militia from the age of 18 to 60. Tensions grew in the year or so before actual warfare broke out in the spring of 1775, especially in the area around Boston. Colonels of the militia regiments formed "Minute Companies" from among their commands, usually the younger, more physically fit men, who were to be ready to drop whatever they were doing and take their arms and equipment to a predesignated rendezvous, at a minutes notice. Hence Minutemen, a kind of rapid reaction force.They promised to be ready in a minute's notice.
