Decline
In the years after the Oklahoma City bombing, the Michigan Militia Corps membership slowly declined and the leadership fell into infighting. The organization was essentially defunct on a statewide basis by 2000, but several militia groups continue to operate independently. In 2009, the Michigan Militia Corps was re-founded and they elected a new state commander; they are slowly growing in numbers again with about 14 counties claiming to be part of the Michigan Militia Corps.
