OrganizationAt its peak the Michigan Militia Corps claimed to have 10,000 members,[9] although its membership now is several hundreds.[7] The Militia's main areas of focus are paramilitary training and emergency response. They are also involved in search and rescue, community preparedness and disaster relief. Significant eventsOn June 15, 1995, Norman Olson, along with militia leaders from other states, testified before the United States Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism. Olson's opening statement included the following words: Not only does the Constitution specifically allow the formation of a Federal Army, it also recognizes the inherent right of the people to form militia. Further, it recognizes that the citizen and his personal armaments are the foundation of the militia. [10] Norman Olson retained the position of Commander of the MMC until after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, when he published a press release blaming the Japanese for the bombing, supposedly in retaliation for a clandestine US-sponsored gas attack in the Tokyo subway system. This press release was an embarrassment to the MMC membership and subsequently Lynn Van Huizen of Nunica, Michigan was elected state commander in 1996. Van Huizen was considered a more moderate militia leader, according to the FBI's report entitled Project Megiddo: "A number of militia leaders, such as Lynn Van Huizen of the Michigan Militia Corps - Wolverines, have gone to some effort to actively rid their ranks of radical members who are inclined to carry out acts of violence and/or terrorism."[11] DeclineIn the years after the Oklahoma City bombing, the Michigan Militia Corps membership slowly declined and there was infighting among the leadership.[3] The statewide organization was nearly defunct by end of 2000,[8] but several militia groups continued to operate independently. In 2009, with the leadership of Clint Dare and Ron Gaydosh, the Michigan Militia Corps was re-organized and elected a new state commander. It is slowly increasing in numbers again, with around 17 counties claiming to be part of the Michigan Militia Corps.[12] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://quod.lib.umich.edu/b/bhlead/umich-bhl-0440?rgn=main;view=text|title=BHL: Rick Haynes Michigan Militia collection 1993-1999|work=umich.edu}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://christian-identity.net/lindstedt/mm10mich.html|title=Change of Command of the Michigan Militia|work=christian-identity.net}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.toledoblade.com/Michigan/2001/02/25/Militia-became-one-man-s-life-and-death.html|title=Militia became one man's life and death|work=Toledo Blade}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://lists.topica.com/lists/snetnews/read/message.html?sort=&mid=1706713117|title=Topica Email List Directory|work=topica.com}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=110&dat=20030918&id=NZYKAAAAIBAJ&sjid=VEwDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4276,1450368|title=Ludington Daily News - Google News Archive Search|work=google.com}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://mmcw.org/contact.htm|title=MMCW|work=mmcw.org}} 7. ^1 {{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/01/us/01michigan.html?_r=0 | work=New York Times | title=Militia draws distinction between groups | date=31 March 2010}} 8. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.outpost-of-freedom.com/mcveigh/tm02.htm|title=Citing Declining Membership, a Leader Disbands His Militia|work=outpost-of-freedom.com}} 9. ^1 {{Cite news | last=Potok | first=Mark | title=Militant militia fringe is setting off alarms | newspaper=USA Today | date=April 17, 1996}} 10. ^United States v.
