Authorized by the Washington State Constitution and the second amendment
to the United States Constitution as “Unorganized Militia,” we are
officially a civilian volunteer organization. As such, we will carry out
operations in absence of orders as dictated by necessity during a
crisis. All 5th/21st Bn. Lightfoot Militia personnel will conduct
themselves with professionalism, integrity and the utmost
respect for others at all times. The 5th/21st Bn. Lightfoot Militia has a
wide spectrum of missions, from disaster relief to terrorism
prevention. Given that the militia is primarily defensive and local in
nature, it is natural that much of its resources should be aimed at
bettering the communities from which it is derived.
