Naval militia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A naval militia in the United States is a reserve organization administered under the authority of a state government. It is often composed of Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard reservists, retirees and volunteers.

It should be distinguished from the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, as that organization is federally-charted and answers to the Commandant of the Coast Guard.
