No, militia and military are not the same. A militia typically refers to a group of civilians who are organized for military service, often in times of emergency or crisis, and may not be formally trained or part of a regular armed force. In contrast, a military is a professional and organized force that is officially sanctioned by a government, with trained personnel, established hierarchy, and defined roles for defense and combat operations.
At Lexington and Concord, the colonial militia confronted British troops on April 19, 1775, in a pivotal moment of the American Revolution. The militia, composed of local farmers and citizens, initially faced the British at Lexington, where a brief skirmish resulted in the "shot heard 'round the world." As the British advanced to Concord, the militia regrouped and employed guerrilla tactics, engaging the British in a series of hit-and-run attacks, ultimately forcing them to retreat back to Boston. This confrontation marked the beginning of open armed conflict between the colonies and Britain.
In "The Patriot," Colonel Benjamin Martin, portrayed by Mel Gibson, serves as a leader within the Continental militia during the American Revolutionary War. His primary task is to rally and organize local militia forces to resist British occupation and protect his community. As a skilled strategist and warrior, he also engages in guerrilla warfare tactics to disrupt British supply lines and troop movements, aiming to inspire and unite his fellow patriots in the fight for independence.
The militia were harassing the retreating British to disrupt their retreat and weaken their morale, as well as to gain a tactical advantage. This guerrilla warfare tactic aimed to demonstrate resilience and determination among the local forces, encouraging further resistance against British authority. Additionally, it sought to prevent the British from regrouping or reinforcing their positions, thereby contributing to the overall revolutionary effort. The harassment also served to rally support for the militia's cause among the local populace.

A reserve . Or an 'irregular' or a 'territorial' or a 'guerrilla' or a 'militia'. It depends on the exact status of the soldier and whether he/she is 'official' or almost a bandit.
