Militia

In a post-apocalyptic setting, the term "militia unit" took on new importance. While historically a militia referred to civilians, not a part of the regular armed forces, in this new world, their role became pivotal. They served as the gap-fillers, providing aid to the military in critical situations. These groups would rally to the military's side during dire straits, operating with strategies and tactics that kept them aligned with the broader objectives of the military.

The militia, with its semi-independent status, offered a middle ground – allowing him a semblance of autonomy while keeping him connected to the primary source of power.
