In anticipation of the 2008 elections, the Michigan Militia has introduced the 10-Week Project Contest. The program seeks to engage both members and the public in training and preparation activities, addressing potential public safety challenges during the critical ten weeks from election day to the presidential inauguration.
The contest invites participants to submit essays outlining strategies for handling any unrest during this period. Key preparations include stockpiling food, acquiring first aid skills, ensuring transportation, and readying necessary gear. The essays serve to persuade others of the importance of these measures.
The Michigan Militia, a well-established organization in Michigan, comprises several subgroups. Recently, it has boosted its online presence with a MySpace page, YouTube channel, and Facebook profile, primarily managed by the Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia.
Monthly tactical training sessions are a staple of the Michigan Militia, typically held on the first Saturday at Camp Stasa in Bancroft, Michigan. These sessions cover weapons handling, first aid, and safety protocols.
Training emphasizes the use of firearms and combat techniques across various climates and terrains. Public events, announced on the militia’s website and social media, include the Snow Dog Winter Training and Survival Weekend and the Militia Field Day.
The Militia Field Day is a highlight, offering both members and the public an opportunity to practice shooting with various firearms, including for children as young as 10. Contests focus on accuracy and speed in target shooting.
To ensure safety, the Michigan Militia bans alcohol, illegal substances, and personal weapons at their events. Activities are primarily organized by the East Central Volunteers of Michigan and the Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia.
Founded in 1994 as the Michigan Militia Corps, the organization saw a membership surge following the September 11 attacks and continues to expand its reach and influence.
