A State militia is always subject to federal, state, or local government control. A "private" militia or army not under government control is considered illegal and in rebellion, and as a result subject to harsh punishments.

Militias were formed as the colonial united states had no standing army due to their young age and inability to support one financially The militias, also called "minute men" often consisted of ramshackle groups of farmers that fought on a minutes notice, hence the name minute men, with whatever weapon nearest by. These Militias angered the British forces as they were not fighting the correct and gentlemanly way; often fleeing from a loosing battle rather than surrendering to the British. So all in all they were formed because of necessity and lack of a home front security system.

Is militia another word for military?
Militias can be military groups, but they are not the same thing. In colonial times, the militias were citizen-soldiers who were called up to defend their local regions or states. With the development of a national army, the militias became the irregular armed forces within a state. These were combined as the National Guard in 1903. Some states used the term militia to refer to enforcement bodies (state police). The most current use is for private, unsanctioned paramiltary groups in various areas of the US. Many of these are right-wing groups with pro-gun-ownership platforms.
