Salem Volunteer Militia

The Salem Volunteer Militia is a post-War organization located within the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
After Barney Rook failed to convince Salem's town council that the training of a militia was necessary, the unprotected town was attacked by mirelurks, resulting in several deaths. Rook founded the Salem Volunteer Militia to aid in his mission of protecting the town from future threats, despite the fact that he is the only remaining citizen. To this end, Rook serves as commander of the militia as well as quartermaster, sergeant at arms, and scribe for all official meetings.

Proud of his service, Rook will respond to gratitude by saying that no thanks are needed, as the Salem Volunteer Militia is at the service of the people of the Commonwealth, and duty is its own reward. Once business between he and the Sole Survivor has concluded, he will excuse himself, explaining that has has earmarked the day for target practice, as "the Salem Volunteer Militia never rests."

Appearances
The Salem Volunteer Militia appears in Fallout 4.
