The Ohio State Regular Militia (OSRM) was an affiliate of Oath Keepers (OK) founded in 2019. Its founder and leader, Jessica Watkins, was a member of OK and claimed that the OSRM has patrolled 12 protests in Ohio and Kentucky since its founding. Watkins allegedly led three members of her militia in traveling from Ohio to Washington D.C. in order to join OK at the riots at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. In a bid to be released from jail pending trial, Watkins announced in late February 2021 that she was disbanding OSRM.
