We in the “Patriot Movement” like tradition.
Up until the late 18th / early 19th century, British infantry units were
called “Foot” (foot soldiers). As in, the “13th Regiment of Foot”.
Light infantry was called “Light Foot”. Cavalry was called “Horse”,
heavy cavalry was “Heavy Horse”, for example, the “48th Regiment of
Horse”. As we will not have much in the way of supply lines or support
elements, we will most likely “live off the land, resupply off the
enemy”, so to speak. Carrying what we need on our backs through the
mountains and hills. Light = Fast.
Hence, the “Light Foot” militia or “Light Foot”, for short (Idaho Light
Foot, Utah Light Foot, etc). Our unit patch in all states.
