Civilian Militia

The Civilian Militia is an ally faction in Tom Clancy's The Division 2. They are currently allied with The Division and what remains of the Washington DC Joint Task Force. A militia formed in the wake of the collapse of the Washington DC JTF and the rise of the True Sons, Hyenas, and Outcasts, this militia seeks to maintain their settlements' independence and promote non-violent survival.

Gameplay
If the player decides to help the militia with various tasks like gathering food and supplies, the militia can be called in a battle to assist the player in capturing control points around the city.

After a battle, militia officers might ask the player for some medications, food, water, and components. The Civilian Militia also guard the exterior of the White House with the help of JTF operatives. Civilian Militia members are also seen at different parts of the city patrolling and savaging for items they want to bring back to their settlement. They are however not a united faction, being dispersed into many groups in various locations.

Equipment
The civilian militia have access to a vast array of scavenged weapons, but little equipment.


 * Their weapons vary widely, ranging from older shotguns and revolvers favoured by Outcasts, to SMGs and pistols favoured by the Hyenas, to high quality assault rifles and LMGs favoured by the True Sons.
 * They have a limited access to secondary equipment, as most seem to favour WW-2 era sling rigs, as well as hand torches and limited access to police equipment.
 * Most have limited combat training, as they display better tactics and equipment than the Outcasts or Underground, but are outmatched by better equipped enemies such as the Hyenas, or better trained opponents such as the True Sons.

Militia Types

 * Militia Soldiers - Militia soldiers make up the bulk of the Militia force. Armed with various weaponry (ARs, SMGs, LMGs, Shotguns) they are most commonly seen capturing control points, patrolling areas, scavenging for supplies, and delivering supplies to control points and their respected settlement.
 * Militia Officers - Officers usually lead their squad into battle when taking over a control point and are seen training new recruits in target practice. Armed with only a pistol, they are the only member of the Militia that can revive agents if they are downed. They are usually indicated by a green star marker.
 * Settlement Guards - Sentry Guards are usually stationed at the entrances at their respected Settlements, protecting the entrances from hostiles, and are usually the ones to open up the entrance when they see a Division agent approaching.
 * Control Point Guards - Guards armed with various assault rifles. They are stationed around the perimeter around their control point, engaging in hostiles that are patrolling through and defending their control points from hostiles that want to capture it. If the control point has a mounted weapon, CP Guards will be the first to man it.
 * Scouts - Militia members armed with various marksman rifles and high-range binoculars. They are seen on platforms that have high altitude, recon the area for special nodes that have much needed supplies and check the streets for hostile patrols. Usually they are alone, but sometimes have another member on the ground for backup.
 * Rushers - Militia members armed with only an ax, not much known about this type, they are rare to spawn.

Trivia

 * Out of all the factions, Militia soldiers are the most indifferent about being placed on guard duty when compared to the other factions:
 * Some militia soldiers feel that guard duty is relaxing, while others casually say that it is boring while wishing someone had a deck of cards to play with or some music to listen to.
 * Some militia soldiers feel reminiscent at this time, usually saying what they would normally be doing at this point in the year (such as having a BBQ with family or watching a football game).
 * Others express more realistic points of view during their guard time, expressing that most of them are just common citizens (like teachers and janitors) going against fully trained soldiers.
