Ganado militia

The Ganado Militia are Osmund Saddler's private paramilitary army, based on Los Illuminados island base and forming the last Ganado enemy group encountered in Resident Evil 4. In the story of RE4, the militia formed Saddler's "Plan B" whereby if the Ashley Graham plan failed they would be sent to the United States to ferment chaos and disorder from within.

Appearing as Ganado's wearing predominantly dark combat fatigues, the militia are equipped similar to the Zealots, but are much faster in pursuing the player, and can attack in even greater numbers than other Ganados.

Militia are armed with a variety of weapons, including much of the zealots arsenal including crossbows and shields, with some wearing combat helmets and facemasks to protect themselves from headshots. Unique Militia include J.J. and the armoured Ganados who, thanks to the iron plates they wear, are immune to most gunfire aimed at their body. As befitting their presence late in the game, the Militia are the hardest Ganados to face in combat.

Weapons unique to the militia include:

• Stun Prod- The stun prod is a powerful electric cattleprod used to shock the player. The player should listen to the sound of electrical sparking to warn of a nearby stun prod.
• Minigun- A huge rotary cannon only carried by J.J. This is fired in long sweeping bursts and can shred the player if caught in it's line of fire.
• Hammer- Carried by the large armoured Ganados, an extremely damaging melee weapon, much faster to swing than the mace.

Militia usually carry the tentacle-type Plaga.
