{{Quote|This unconventional force of freedom fighters, para-military guerrillas and deserters roams across the Eastern European plains, causing chaos wherever they go. Primarily funded by arms and drug shipping, they possess a large array of weapons and hardware, making them a formidable fighting force.|In-game description}}
The '''Irregular Militia Forces''' is a semi-fictional playable [[Factions|faction]] in [[Squad]]. This faction is the second generic unconventional faction featured in the game. They feature a wide variety of Eastern and Western weaponry and are featured in European-styled theaters.

== History ==
Created by the people, for the people, the militia was raised out of necessity to defend their lands and communities in support of larger operations conducted by their native government military. Often, the militia is comprised of veterans of their country's military who pass down their training and experiences to the other citizen soldiers creating well-trained units. Relatively well-equipped, professional, and with a strong will to defend their country, the militia is a guerrilla unit that is a force to be reckoned with.

== Flag ==
The flag of the Irregular Militia Forces features white and green pales in the background. The center of the flag contains an escutcheon with a double-headed eagle.

== Kits and equipment ==
Most of the Militia's weapons feature relatively antiquated optics of the late Cold War period. This is somewhat made up for by the access to unique rifle grenades, anti-tank grenades, an abundance of rocket launchers, and camouflage nettings.

== In-game Equipment ==
The Irregular Militia Forces uses a combination of mostly Eastern but some Western weaponry. Unlike the [[Insurgents]], the Militia uses somewhat more modern weaponry when possible. With multiple unique offensive [[kits]] and defensive [[deployables]], the IMF is well-equipped for both shock attacks and concentrated defenses.

Their vehicle arsenal has a slightly better selection regarding vehicle support than the Insurgents, including [[MT-LBM]] and [[BMP-2]] with rapid-firing autocannons, modern up-armored technicals, armored logistic trucks, and the [[BM-21]], the first multiple rocket launch system in-game.

==Trivia==
*Along with the [[Insurgents]] faction, tracers were removed from all [[weapons]] for the Irregular Militia Forces as of Alpha v11.1.
*The Irregular Militia Forces is most likely inspired by Serbian irregular forces as the characters and announcer all converse in Serbian.
*The faction underwent a significant rework in Version [https://joinsquad.com/2023/03/14/squad-update-v4-3-release-notes/ 4.3], with new exclusive gameplay mechanics, kits, and vehicles.
**The faction was further expanded in Version [https://joinsquad.com/2023/05/23/squad-update-v4-5-release-notes/ 4.5] with new weapons and adjustments.
