85. You missed the hint. Let's Start over...2 classes of militia. One is well-regulated, and one isn't.

One will be used in federal service as cited in the constitution. One won't.

s311
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied
males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section
313 of title 32, under 45 years of age
who are, or who have made a
declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States
and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the
National Guard.


&quot b) The classes of the militia are -
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard
and the Naval Militia;
and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of
the militia who are not members
of the National Guard or the
Naval Militia.

s333
&quot a) Use of Armed Forces in Major Public Emergencies. - (1) The
President may employ the armed forces, including the National Guard in Federal service, to -"



By definition, only the National Guard is a well-regulated militia. And only the National Guard is codifed to be called forth in federal service.
