The Christian Reconstructionists have proven that they can conceptualize what they want to achieve, devise a theology and a follow-on strategy to achieve their goal, devote resources to achieving their goal, and then implement their strategy. Thus, starting in 1983, the Christian Reconstructionists conceived as part of their long-term strategy to reconstruct America’s political, economic, and cultural systems consistent with their interpretation of the Old Testament, the need to develop a Patriot militia force. They worked with white supremacists to establish a network of Patriot militia units based on the operational principles found in the seminal article on Fourth Generation Warfare written by their own preeminent military strategist William S. Lind employed at the Christian Right’s premier strategic think tank, the Free Congress Foundation. But where does the militia fit into the Christian Reconstructionist’s strategy? The answer to this question is related to the literature’s unasked question: how do the Christian Reconstructionists actually plan to come to power? Answers to these two questions are conceptually linked: the Patriot militias are the armed wing of the Christian Right available to contest local territories when the federal government collapses due to a catastrophic economic crisis.
