Militia

History:

The basic concept of the militia is that every free man has the right and duty to bear arms in defence of national freedom. In the city-states of Greece and in early Rome, youths were admitted to manhood by qualifying as fighting men.
Operations against distant enemies kept the citizen-soldier absent from his farm or trade for a ruinously long period - and these operations demanded a higher level of military competance and specialization than the acient citizen-soldier could offer - which resulted in the replacement by long-service professional soldiers.

Hint:

You should at least leave one militia in each city for protection
