ABOUT US

People can't follow leaders they can't see.  That's our starting point. The term "militia" has been maligned, abused, and dismissed as a historical relic by those who cannot--or refuse to--understand and internalize the uniquely American ethos of self-reliance and determination. We aim to fix that--pun intended.

The Virginia Militias is a decentralized, distributed network of local constitutional militias organized by county. Each militia belongs to a county, which serves as the jurisdiction of that militia. While each county’s militia is unique, the Virginia militias do share certain core values that define what a Constitutional Militia is. For more on our core values, what we are, and just as importantly, what we are not, click on the "core values and ideas" tab in the main menu.

HOW it works

It's simple--reach out in the contact form, list your locality in the contact form, provide whatever information you're comfortable sharing (up to and including previous relevant experience, skillsets, etc.), and we'll get back to you within a couple days at most.

Your information will be forwarded to the appropriate organization for your general area and you'll receive all the info you need to get plugged in.

The Constitutional Mandate

The legal foundation of constitutional militias is rooted in both federal and state authority. These specific code sections define the role, rights, and responsibilities of citizen-led preparedness.

U.S. Constitution Article I, Section 8

The Congress shall have Power... To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.

The Second Amendment

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Virginia Constitution Art. I, Sec. 13

That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state.
