6th Militia Group Organizes In Idaho

BOISE – The Ada County ‘1/43’ Light Foot Militia was officially formed following a public meeting on Tuesday evening according to the Unit’s Interim Commander, Capt. Jack Stuart. Ada County is the sixth county in Idaho to form a Light Foot unit. ... Stuart stressed the Unit’s top priority is to establish open communication with, and support of, the Ada County Sheriff’s Department. “We recognize the county sheriff is the ONLY publicly elected law enforcement officer in America, and therefore is the highest law enforcement authority in his county,” he said. “Yet, in the midst of the Sheriff’s Constitutional role in disaster relief, search and rescue, or civil emergencies; as his resources are spread thin, the Light Foot stands ready to assist to protect the lives and property of Ada County citizens with highly dedicated, disciplined and trained personnel"/Craig Campbell, Ada County Light Foot Militia.
