Militia
A militia is a group of citizens organized to provide paramilitary service. The word can have four slightly different meanings:

- An official reserve army, composed of non-professional soldiers
- The national police forces in Russia, and other CIS countries, and the Soviet Union: Militsiya
- The entire able-bodied population of a state, which can be called to arms against an invading enemy
- A private, non-government force, not necessarily directly supported or sanctioned by the government
In any of these cases, a militia is distinct from a national regular army. It can serve to supplement the regular military, or it can oppose it, for example to resist a military coup. In some circumstances, the "enemies" against which a militia is mobilized are domestic political opponents of the government, such as strikers. In many cases the role, or even the existence of a militia, is controversial. For these reasons legal restrictions may be placed on the mobilization or use of militia.
