First recruits of the reforming RSMoK take to forests of Neveras for recruit training

The Party's Militia, the Revolutionary Socialist Militia of Kalistan, will reform beginning in May of this year.  The SP has reopened its armories across the Republic, and has requested that Militia Veterans who were in service when the Militia was officially disbanded in 4481 back into service for the purpose of training a new Socialist Party Paramilitary organization.

Militia Commandante Col. Dionne Hayes, who was a platoon commander in 4481 and is now in her late 60s was thrilled to don her uniform again.  Flanked by her grandchildren, Col Hayes said "We have been waiting for this chance to serve the Republic once more.  Obviously, my frontline days are behind me, but I think the promotion of us old veterans will allow us to correct a lot of the issues we saw in the old militia.  We will be leaner, and we will be meaner.  Our men and women will live on less and will rely on the land more often.  We will focus on maneuverability and bringing heavy arms to bear against the enemy in full support of our nation's professional land, air and sea forces."

The militia have already began enlisting new Partisans.  As the NSP is kneecapped by the privatization agenda of the Conservative regime, and no plans have been made whatsoever to deal with shuttered National industries, millions of Kalistani youth have found themselves without a program to soak up the excess labor.  The SP has begun stepping up and offering these youth some employment with the Militia.  Most candidates for the militia have come from the cities through the Republic, with the largest number of recruits coming from Neveras, which the SP has held in the last several elections and now serves as the last real bastion of the SP in the Republic  "We have recruited more than 5000 partisans to date," said Commandante Hayes.  "The will begin recruit training after the coming election, and then will form the backbone of the new Kalistani Militia."

The new Commandante expects the RSMoK to be fully staffed, according to the RSMoK's Order of March, by 4514.  The Militia will include irregular infantry who will serve as commandos and shock troops, artillery units to offer fire support for the Standing Force, and naval forces with re-outfitted LAFA packs to support the operations of the Standing Navy.  The RSMoK joins the reformed Provisional Conservative Army of Kalistan in complimenting the Standing Armed Forces of Kalistan, and hopes to make arrangements for joint training as soon as both Militias are standing up.
