Militia (Amerika Syarikat)

Askar rakyat A.S. yang ideal, dalam pasukan militia, digambarkan oleh Concord Minute Man tahun 1775, sebuah tugu peringatan dicipta oleh Daniel Chester French dan didirikan pada tahun 1875, di Concord, Massachusetts.

Militia Amerika Syarikat, seperti yang ditakrifkan oleh Kongres AS, telah berubah dari masa ke semasa.[1]

Semasa era kolonial Amerika, semua lelaki muda yang sihat tubuh badan adalah anggota militia, bergantung pada undang-undang negeri masing-masing.[2] Setiap bandar membentuk militia tempatan yang bebas untuk mempertahankan diri sendiri.[3] Setahun sebelum Perlembagaan Amerika Syarikat diratifikasi, The Federalist Papers memperincikan pengasas' utama militia pada tahun 1787.[4][5] Perlembagaan baru memberi kuasa kepada Kongres untuk "menyusun, melengkap, dan mendisiplinkan" pasukan tentera kebangsaan ini, memberikan kawalan utama kepada setiap kerajaan negeri.[6][7]

Hari ini, seperti yang ditakrifkan oleh Akta Militia 1903, istilah "militia" digunakan untuk menerangkan dua kelas dalam Amerika Syarikat:[8]

  • Militia tersusun – terdiri daripada pasukan militia Negeri; terutamanya, Pengawal Kebangsaan dan Militia laut.[9] (Nota: Pengawal Kebangsaan tidak boleh dikelirukan dengan Pengawal Kebangsaan Amerika Syarikat.)
  • Militia tidak tersusun – merangkumi Militia Simpanan: setiap lelaki sihat tubuh badan yang berumur 17 tahun dan dibawah 45 tahun, bukan anggota Pengawal Kebangsaan atau Militia Laut.[10]

Militia ketiga ialah pasukan pertahanan negeri. Ia diluluskan oleh undang-undang negeri dan persekutuan.[11]
