"Minutemen" was the name given to the special members of the colonial militia who were supposed to be ready and able to fight "on a minute's notice". About one-quarter of the Colonial militia, primarily those who were youngest and least tied down by job and family responsibilities, were Minutemen.

What is the bajoran militia?
The Bajoran Militia was the military arm of the Bajoran Provisional Government, originally made up of many former resistance fighters from the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor. The structure was comparable to that of an Earth army, with similar ranks. Officers of the Militia were usually graduates of the Bajoran Military Academy, although many commissions were awarded on the basis of demonstrated skills and merit of the soldiers who were part of the resistance against the occupation. The militia jointly operated Deep Space 9 with Starfleet. From 2369 to 2375 the station was commanded by a Starfleet command level officer and the executive officer was a Militia member. When the station's commander, Captain Sisko, disappeared in late 2375, his executive, Colonel Kira, took command.
Where the Minute Men and the Virginia Militia one in the same?
The Minutemen in Virginia were volunteers called forth from the Virginia militia. They trained more often then the regular militia to enhance unit cohesion and effectiveness to mass firepower as was the standard tactic of 18th century warfare. The Minutemen were merely better trained than the regular militia. In Virginia the militia and the Minutemen were required at all times to be armed and ready to immediately repel invasions and insurrections. The Minutemen were actually a reconstituted form of the Independent Companies started by George Mason and came into existence after the Independent companies were under the central control of the Virginia Committee of Safety. The state of Virginia was divided into 16 military districts and the minutemen were formed. They only lasted one year from July 1775 to October 1776 as the severe military manpower shortage in the Continental line drew down the available men required to constitute the companies. They were then folded back into the regular militia. George Mason Jr. was a member of the Minutemen.

What was minutemen?
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.
