The U.S. militia includes able-bodied men age 17 to 44 who are citizens or have declared intent to become citizens, plus women who are in the National Guard. It splits into the organized militia (National Guard and Naval Militia) and the unorganized militia (everyone else).

(a) This subsection defines who is in the militia. It includes all able-bodied men who are at least 17 and, with an exception noted in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years old, and who are U.S. citizens or have formally declared they intend to become citizens. It also includes women who are U.S. citizens and who are members of the National Guard. (b) This subsection splits the militia into two classes. The organized militia is made up of the National Guard and the Naval Militia. The unorganized militia is everyone else in the militia — anyone who isn't a member of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
