Oh, the Navy is organized.  So is the Army.  Quite a few of the
local militias are organized, to some degree, one way or
another. John Atkinson did suggest the Alarishi militia
contingent in any battle could be "every figure you
own--ancients, modern, whatever--in random clumps", but  I think
that's a tad harsh, myself, I wouldn't include horse cavalry.
Not many, anyway.

Now, the politics are disorganized.
