{{Quote|This is Reach, Master Chief. ''Everyone'' is in the militia.|[[Somogy]]{{Ref/Reuse|SOR8}}}}
The '''Viery Militia''' are a [[:Category:Militias|militia]] force present on [[Reach]] as part of the [[Eposz Reclamation Collective]], following the planet's re-colonisation.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR8|HSoR|Chapter=8}}

==History==
===Background===
Even prior to the [[Fall of Reach]], the planet had a history of organised militias with at least [[Reach militia|one such group]] active in the [[Szurdok Ridge|Szurdok]] region in [[2552]] - though it is unknown whether these pre-fall militia traditions have any connecting lineage to the Viery Militia.{{Ref/Level|HR|Nightfall}}

===Founding===
Reach was [[Glassing|glassed]] in [[2552]], and the planet's vitrified surface took years to cool in the aftermath. Eventually though, the surface was able to cool to a level enough that the [[Eposz Reclamation Project]] was formed, and began to re-settle the world.

The militia was active and participated [[Operation: WOLFE|in defending Reach]] during the Banished's occupation.

==Organization==
The Viery Militia had three [[battalion]]s, indicating it may have had at least around 2400 soldiers. Every colonist in the Reach reclamation project was considered to be in the militia and capable of serving in it when needed. Forces were trained in the [[Gönc Drifts]] of the [[Lébény district]] at the [[Highland Mountains]], [[Eposz]].{{Ref/Reuse|SOR8}}

===List of personnel===
*Commander-in-chief [[Sasa Boldisar]]

==Equipment==
The majority of the militia's equipment consisted of ex-[[UNSC]] equipment salvaged from many old military bases and bunkers that littered Reach and were abandoned with the planet's fall. The militia soldiers wore salvaged odd pieces of [[UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform|battle dress uniforms]], and a varied collection of weaponry including various [[MA5 series]] rifles and - in one case - even a [[Desert Eagle]] salvaged from a museum.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR5|HSoR|Chapter=5}}

The militia made use of many different kinds of vehicles including [[Mongoose]]s, [[M274-M Gungoose|Gungooses]] and [[M12 Warthog]]s in both [[M12R Rocket Warthog|rocket]] and [[M12 Chaingun Warthog|chaingun]] variations.
