The militia is defined as all able bodied males 17-45 blah, blah, blah as quoted above.
THEN you regulate who it answers to, and when it is subject to calling.
That is the "regulation."
And it is ALL codified in US law.

You left out one of the types of militia's in the US code. Above, you're speaking of the select militia; i.e. those called to duty. That leaves all the rest of the militia, those not called to duty.
