Minutemen were the American Revolution militiaman who agreed to be ready for military duty “at a minute’s warning”. The first minutemen were organized in Worcester 
County, Massachusetts, in September 1774, when revolutionary leaders sought to eliminate Tories from the old militia by requiring the resignation of all officers and reconstituting the men into seven regiments with new officers. One-third of the members of each regiment was to be ready to assemble under arms at instant call and was specifically designated “minutemen.” Other counties began adopting the same system, and, when Massachusetts’ Provincial Congress met in Salem in October, it directed that the reorganization be completed. The first great test of the minutemen was at the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. On July 18, 1775, the Continental Congress recommended that other colonies organize units of minutemen; Maryland, New Hampshire, and Connecticut are known to have complied.
According to Massachusetts colonial law, all able-bodied men between the ages of 16 and 60 were required to keep a serviceable firearm and serve in a part-time citizen army called the militia. Their duty was to defend the colony against her enemies; chiefly the Indians and the French. The colonial militia sometimes fought side by side with British soldiers, particularly during the last French and Indian War in the 1750's and early 60's. However, as a result of the mounting tensions between Great Britain and her American colonies, that would soon change.
In October of 1774, following the lead of the Worcester County Convention, the Massachusetts Provincial Congress called upon all militia officers to resign their commissions under the old Royal Government and for new elections to be held. This effectively purged the officer corps of loyalists. They also called upon the towns (most of which supported one or more companies of militia) to set aside a portion of its militia and form them into new, special companies called minute men.
Battles of Lexington and Concord, (April 19, 1775), initial skirmishes between British regulars and American provincials, marking the beginning of the American Revolution. Acting on orders from London to suppress the rebellious colonists, General Thomas Gage, appointed royal governor of Massachusetts, ordered his troops to seize the colonists’ military stores at Concord. In route from Boston, the British force of 700 men was met on Lexington Green by 77 local minutemen and others who had been forewarned of the raid by the colonists’ efficient lines of communication, including the ride of Paul Revere.
Minute Men were different from the militia in the following ways: While service in the militia was required by law, minute men were volunteers. The minute men trained far more frequently than the militia. Two or three times per week were common. Because of this serious commitment of time, they were paid. One shilling per drill was average. Militia only trained once every few months (on average) and was paid only if they were called out beyond their town, or formed part of an expedition. Minute Men were expected to keep their arms and equipment with them at all times, and in the event of an alarm were to be ready to march at a minute's warning - hence they were called "minute men".
Among the Anglo-Saxon peoples of early medieval Europe, the militia was institutionalized in the fyrd, in which every able-bodied free male was required to give military service. Similar arrangements evolved in other countries. During the American Revolution, the militia provided the bulk of the American forces as well as a pool for recruiting or drafting of regulars. The militia played a similar role in the War of 1812 and the American Civil War. After that conflict, however, the militia fell into disuse. State-controlled volunteer units, referred to as the National Guard, were formed in most states and came to serve a quasi-social function. Many of these volunteers were veterans of the Civil War, and many were from the middle classes.
Although the terms militia and minutemen are sometimes used interchangeably today, in the 18th century there was a decided difference between the two. Militia were men in arms formed to protect their towns from foreign invasion and ravages of war. Minutemen were a small hand-picked elite force which were required to be highly mobile and able to assemble quickly. Minutemen were selected from militia muster rolls by their commanding officers. Typically 25 years of age or younger, they were chosen for their enthusiasm, reliability, and physical strength. Usually about one quarter of the militia served as Minutemen, performing additional duties as such. The Minutemen were the first armed militia to arrive or await a battle.
As early as 1645, men were selected from the militia ranks to be dressed with matchlocks or pikes and accoutrements within half an hour of being warned. In 1689 another type of Minuteman company came into existence. Called Snowshoe men, each was to "provide himself with a good pair of snowshoes, one pair of moccasins, and one hatchet" and to be ready to march on a moment's warning. Minutemen also played a role in the French and Indian War in the 1750's. A journal entry from Samuel Thompson, a Massachusetts militia officer, states, "...but when our men were gone, they sent eleven more at one minute's warning, with 3 days provision..." By the time of the Revolution, Minutemen had been a well-trained force for six generations in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Every town had maintained its 'training band'. The adversity that this region faced — Native-American uprisings, war with France, and potential for local insurrections, social unrest, and rioting — provided ample reason to adhere to a sound militia organization. In his recent book, perhaps David Hackett Fischer puts it best, "The muster of the Minutemen in 1775 was the product of many years of institutional development...it was also the result of careful planning and collective effort." By the time of the Revolution, Massachusetts had been training, drilling, and improving their militia for well over a hundred years.
In February of 1775 Concord was one of the first towns to comply with the order to create Minutemen companies out of the militia. Of approximately 400 militia from Concord's muster rolls, one hundred would also serve as Minutemen. When a battle took place Minutemen companies from several towns combined their units. An officer from the 43rd Regiment of Foot was sent to the North Bridge in Concord with a number of light infantry. Minutemen from Concord, Acton, Littleton, and other towns combined forces. After a few volleys were fired, the British light infantry retreated back to the Concord Common area. Lacking central command, with each company of Minutemen loyal to their own town, they did not pursue the redcoats. In the running battle that ensued fifteen miles back to Boston the Massachusetts militia would see their last action as Minutemen in history. The militia would go on to form an army, surrounding Boston and inflicting heavy casualties on the British army at Bunker and Breed's Hill.
Although lacking central command, the Minutemen were still better organized and battle-tested than any other part-time military. They were a vital and necessary force, playing a crucial role in not only the Revolutionary War, but in earlier conflicts. Without these "ready in a minute" men, our history may have been written in a very different way.
Today, we need to follow our forefathers lead and do the same by organizing the “reserve militia” in every county comprising of every able-bodied man of at least 17 and under 45 years of age, not a member of the National Guard or Naval Militia being a third militia is a state defense force that is authorized by state and federal laws, being necessary to the security of a free State.

What part of Northern California?
Hello Lauraleighfarnsworth - Our Northern California COS are working hard to build a California CCOS Alliance. We are getting the word out on what a CCOS is and how to form one with the support of NLA. We met with liberty loving patriots (some NLA members) representing four counties in April through a County to County Brunch event we hosted. Since then we have a large county (50 miles from us) forming a COS who we are now working together in supporting others to build the CCOS Alliance. We just had our second County to County Brunch in June and had representatives from 12 counties!

Militia of the several States
It is my firm belief that a show of force not a use of force is what it is going to take to turn our Republic back over to the people.
By establishing a 12-man reserve militia in each County of the several States, we would be a standing Force over 36,000 armed Patriots. I don't believe that there is a faction in this country that could stand opposed.
These members of The reserve militia are those Patriots committed to report to duty upon muster by a constitutional elected sheriff.
Although the Constitution states provisions for the State Governor or President of the United States, to call to arms the citizens militia, it must be added that, those executives have no power until it is defined by Congress and State legislature respectively.
The sheriff however can call on militia members at any time he feels the need. At which time he will deputize those members of the militia that have answered the call to muster.
A constitutionally elected sheriff and the citizens militia of his County are an extremely powerful force. This Union predates the founding of our Republic.
There are four clauses in the United States Constitution that reference the militia, and any of the several States constitutions have a provision for a citizens militia.
The Militia is made up of every able body citizen between the ages of 18 and 45 years originally established at the drafting of each state's Constitution. The United States Constitution however defines the militia as every able body white male 17-45 years of age, due to emancipation and conflict with American Native Tribes, at the time.
Corrupt politicians have attempted to blur the true meaning of the militia, putting in place, the National guard.. Common sense steers us back on course as one of the intended duties of the militia is to protect the citizens from government overreach. Being that the National guard is an auxiliary branch of the US military it would be far-fetched to believe the National guard stands to protect us from government overreach. It's relatively easy to see that the politicians definition of the militia works for their cause, at the cost of the People's benefit.
That stated, it's important for people to understand that if they are in that age class, they are part of the militia. They are required to own a gun and ammunition and be well versed in its use.
The biggest hurdle facing the citizens militia at this time is the organization of such. And make no mistake, the government does not want the citizens to have an organized militia because they can't control it.
I'm confident that when we established the 12-man reserve militia for each County that from that membership we can form the committees of safety as well as staff the citizens grand jury.
The citizens militia provides a sufficient show Force to return the grand jury operations to the people, It would have the ability to enforce the directives of the committees of safety and boost confidence in each County sheriff enabling him to stand as the chief law enforcement officer of each County.
Do you know 11 other people in your County, that are willing to place their name and contact number on a list that is given to the sheriff? Any reluctance to do so is cowardice. We all have a responsibility to step up, revive our militia and take this Republic back to We the People.
The US Constitution tells us that, we not only have a right but a duty to remove a government, that no longer serves the people, and replace it with one that will.

Establishing your county's reserve militia.
Hey Doc,
Take the initiative and establish a 12 member reserve militia for your county. That is; 12 able body citizens willing to put their first name and contact number on a list that is the given to the Sherriff. Insure that these citizens are willing to show up if called for the purpose. Surf this website for the militia form, and give it to each member. (I would give you a link but it got moved). Reach out tome when you reach that point and I'll guide you further draper4gov@gmail.com
