I noticed that this article is categorized in [[:Category:Militia Commands]]. And I'm not sure if this is correct. I'd argue that they seem to be a corporate (private) defense force, not a state/government (or otherwise public service) militia. This marks them as somewhere between a merc unit and a noble retainer army. Anyone got more info on this? Opinions? [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 11:08, 10 January 2018 (EST)

Militia command or private army?[edit]

I noticed that this article is categorized in Category:Militia Commands. And I'm not sure if this is correct. I'd argue that they seem to be a corporate (private) defense force, not a state/government (or otherwise public service) militia. This marks them as somewhere between a merc unit and a noble retainer army. Anyone got more info on this? Opinions? Frabby (talk) 11:08, 10 January 2018 (EST)

This unit is described only in these two sources... so if you feel this is more a private defense unit, let's move it. By its description it seems so though.--Pserratv (talk) 11:28, 10 January 2018 (EST)
