What are the three characteristics of early American militias?
I am not sure I can only come up with three, but here are a few. Colonial militias were obligatory-- that is, every able-bodied white male was expected to join in the defense of the state where he lived. The men were expected to provide (and pay for) their own weapons, and there was very little training in those early days. Also, there was no national standard for the militias-- each city or state had their own militia, with its own rules and its own way of doing things, and even the uniforms varied from state to state.

Is militia another word for military?
Militias can be military groups, but they are not the same thing. In colonial times, the militias were citizen-soldiers who were called up to defend their local regions or states. With the development of a national army, the militias became the irregular armed forces within a state. These were combined as the National Guard in 1903. Some states used the term militia to refer to enforcement bodies (state police). The most current use is for private, unsanctioned paramiltary groups in various areas of the US. Many of these are right-wing groups with pro-gun-ownership platforms.
