Idaho Light Foot Militia

The Idaho Light Foot Militia (ILFM) is a privately organized militia in the state of Idaho. The Idaho Light Foot Militia is distinct from a state defense force in that it is not recognized as part of the organized militia by the government of Idaho, but is rather privately organized by private citizens in the unorganized militia. It describes itself as part of the Patriot movement.[1] The ILFM was founded in 2009.[2]

Membership in the ILFM is open to citizens of Idaho aged 16 and older.[1] Members participate in training and attend monthly meetings.[3] As of 2010, the militia consisted of over 100 members.[4]
