Pennsylvania Light Foot Militia

PLFM is a state militia operating in Pennsylvania. The group, like many other militias, is made of right-wing Constitutionalists.

The group takes a particular interest in ISIS, the extremist organization primarily in Syria and Iraq. Not unlike many other similar militias, memes and images with macro’ed text over them are popular among social media users. Many of the more popular images are those threatening ISIS or announcing plans to defend territory from the group.

The group is not formally a III% militia, but many of its members do exhibit at least an open support for III% movements (information on a Georgia chapter of III% here). At field training exercises, members of small battalions hold III% flags for photographs, members wear III% patches prominently on their gear, and social media users post images with III% logos on their pages.

PLFM has been very active in conducting field trainings and usually have a good showing of participants at their field events. PLFM members are trained in marksmanship, leadership skills, and survival medical care. In addition to their own personal rifles, PLFM members train in pistol use and have even trained in helicopter deployment.
