Naval militias were started in the 1800s, after naval numbers started shrinking post-Civil War. At their height, there were 30. Now, there are only three, and New York's is one of them.
“We actually have more coastline than most other states. People don't think about that," said Capt. Jay Dutcher. "But (you have) Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence Seaway, Lake Champlain, the Hudson and, of course, Long Island.”

For those wondering naval militias are constitutionally authorized forces, with the same legal status as the National Guard (state land militia)

Except they are a title 10 militia only.

In case anyone is wondering , Ohio and Alaska are the other two states with active Naval Militias. New Jersey has an inactive one. Two other states, California and Texas have a maritime component as part of of their State Guard.

Yes, we do. We also do not augment Federal forces and cannot be called into Federal service. Coastline? We in ALASKA laugh at your puniness😂

I remember the first time I learned about this Militia...as a volunteer firefighter in Somers, NY - one of these guys turned up after one of the bad hurricanes years ago and asked how they could help us out. He arranged delivery of cots and other supplies within a few hours so we could continue focusing on our citizens without another distraction. Stayed around for a couple days helping us and other departments with logistics. He explained the Militia to somenof us on down time and we all thought it was really interesting.

YES in my State we only as far As I know Have CG axillary. But it's their own personal water craft that Patrol. They can go out on water anytime they want, they just check in with the sector. Mostly they TEACH boater certified cards. And do safety 🛟 inspection if a person asks.

These naval militias are under direct control of their home state, while the coast guard is a branch of the federal government’s military

@Natediggetydog are these guys given drill pay? Like the National Gaurd. I just retired from 22 years Air Guard and got going in the coast guard auxiliary Air sub branch a couple years before covid. I dropped CG Aux air because i lost my day job-airline pilot and needed to cut costs and clear my schedule for a different job for a bit. Looking forward to getting back into Aux Air again now things have calmed down. never heard of modern day Naval militia til this video

@The91strecon Ай бұрын

You know the militias historically coordinated with and cooperated with regular troops right? Who do you think was in charge of calling up and directing the militia? It wasn’t a directionless mob. They had a chain of command an took orders from continental officers.

@jonharrison4548 Ай бұрын

Btw - read the Constitution... the 2nd amendment is centered around Militias and the concept that the individual right to bear arms is to support the existence of an organized Militia. Who do you think 'organized' the Militias? Governments. Local, State, and Federal depending on the need. Even conservative Justice Scalia wrote about this qualification to the 2nd amendment before he died.

"Navy, Coast Guard, Army, Marines, Space Force" (which is just a subset of the Air Force) are all federal services and is under the President as CiC. National Guard follows the Governors of the states they belong to first until they are federalized...

@jonharrison4548 Ай бұрын

Having many branches and units protects us internally from tyranny of one individual. That is one of the points of local militias...they would only join together in a righteous effort under State or Federal control. Also, decentralized resources allows for better responses to emergencies.

@umaikakudo 21 күн бұрын

Read the federalist and anti-federalist papers. The Founders were vehement against a standing army and with good cause. Having many independent state militia's is a wise separation of powers that can resist tyranny when it oversteps its bounds once again.

That's what a militia traditionally is - a local, government-regulated reserve force. The name National Guard was given originally to the New York State Militia by the Marquis de Lafayette when he returned to the U.S. Also, the National Guard emblem is the statue of Capt. Parker the Concord Militia that belonged to the Massachusetts Colony.
