b. Reserves - whom have been called to active duty - they are always part of the US Army
c. National Guard - whom have been federalized and placed under the US Army

2. ORGANIZED MILITIA
a. The National Guard - when operating under the Governor of the respective state
b. The State Guards (for states that do have them) AKA State Military Reserves

3. UNORGANIZED MILITIA
a. The body of men (and women) of a certain age who could be called upon to assist the above, or even fight on their own.
