Prior to the decision to reclaim the monicker, an analysis of factors involving potential association was considered.

Outside organizations that claim to represent the 2nd Infantry Regiment, CSM are patently false and unsubstantiated. The 2nd Infantry regiment, CSM disavows all individuals claiming membership and authority in the representation of the organization. Verification of members and units is available by contacting the 2IR CSM via email at californiastatemilitia.org All historical documentation is maintained by organization historians to mitigate effects of false claims from individuals or organizations.

CALIFORNIA STATE MILITIA, 2ND REGIMENT ADDRESSES FALSE ACCUSATIONS
YUCCA VALLEY, CA, January 31, 2016 for immediate dissemination to all outlets.
The 2nd Regiment of the California State Militia is addressing libelous and slanderous accusations by other units of the California State Militia. These other units are providing knowingly false information through electronic and possibly verbal methods in order to denigrate the image and/or legal standing of the 2nd Regiment.
Accusations and Assertions:
1. That our Regiment is not a member of the California State Militia.
2. That our organization is counterfeit and otherwise unlawful or unsanctioned.
3. That members of our organization went to Oregon in support of militia members occupying the federal building.
4. That an entity lays claim to the trademark of the California State Militia patch design and all iterations.
Response:
1. Per California Military and Veterans Code §120 to §130, our organization is a part of that class
2. Per Definition of Unorganized Militia per California Military and Veterans Code §121
The unorganized militia consists of all persons liable to service in the militia, but not members of the National Guard, the State Military Reserve, or the Naval Militia.
3. No member of the California State Militia, 2nd Regiment, Alpha Company traveled under ANY sanction from the chain of command to stand with the Oregon militia members.
3a. Furthermore, the individual that was noted up in Oregon was in fact a California citizen from the northern area which is not an area of operations for the 2nd Regiment.
4. Per trademark and copyright searches and confirmation from one of the original designers of the “CSM” patches, James Haggenson who explicitly states “Just use the designs, no one has a copy right of either patch, they are just a combination of other designs put together by several of us.”
For clarification: The 2nd Regiment of the California State Militia is a legal, unorganized civilian militia as authorized by the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights and the California State Constitution
Details and screenshots of the 2nd Regiment’s claim of libel are available by contacting us on our website: http://www.californiastatemilitia.org
