Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwEQwwJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ParamilitaryOrganization</a> is an organization formed according to a military structure, but not as a part of any mainstream military force. Paramilitary organizations sometimes operate as auxiliaries to or in place of mainstream military forces (e.g. as border patrols or police units), but generally they operate independently of any government or national allegiance, often with loyalty to some political program or party. Examples of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwEQwwJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ParamilitaryOrganization</a>s include the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwDzUb5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitiaOfMontana</a> and the Ulster Defence Association (UDA), the Protestant militant group operating in Northern Ireland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramilitary paramilitary group paramilitary groups non-governmental paramilitary organizations non-governmental paramilitary organization paramilitary organizations paramilitary organisations paramilitaries non-governmental paramilitary group non-governmental paramilitary organisations non-governmental paramilitary groups non-governmental paramilitary organisation paramilitary organisation paramilitary militia A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwEQwwJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ParamilitaryOrganization</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwKImsZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Militia</a> is a non-governmental military force. Many <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwKImsZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Militia</a>s consider themselves patriotic; but they are often viewed with suspicion (and may be considered terrorist groups) by the government and the general citizenry. Note that this collection reflects a different sense of militia than that sometimes used to describe certain auxilliary governmental military organizations, such as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv2VKgJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">NationalGuardOrganization</a>s.

Urban guerillas are so-called because they adapt many of the tactics of traditional <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv3INypwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GuerillaForce</a>s (q.v.) to an urban setting.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjx75wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryOrganization</a> is an organization whose function (and expertise) is the use of armed force, or the threat of such use, against enemies, especially other organized, armed enemies. A military organization includes its fighting forces and their command structure, together with dedicated support services controlled by that military command. Typically, there are special conditions in the relationships between a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjx75wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryOrganization</a> and its workers, going beyond what is expected in work agreements in civilian settings, including strict sanctions to enforce obedience. This collection includes <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvV81VZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GovernmentMilitaryOrganization</a>s such as the armies, navies, and air forces of the world's governments, and in addition private armies, rebel armies, and organized mercenary units.
