About US
Who are we?
Oath Keepers USA is a Constitutional service organization, composed of skilled volunteers that include current and formerly serving military, police, first responders, and trained civilians. Our Mission is to honor our Oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Oath Keepers provide support services to our communities in the event of natural disasters, economic stress or unrest, and unforeseen emergencies. We take pride in executing that mission with professionalism, courage and honor.
What is a Constitutional Service Organization?
As a Constitutional Service Organization, we support and defend the Constitution in multiple ways.
- As a source of Constitutional education and information, we provide education to the public regarding their rights and responsibilities, and how to stand firm in a Republic where those rights are under attack.
- We lobby our representatives and provide advice to help them maintain legislation which supports the Constitution.
- We participate in public forums to discuss community issues, and use those gatherings as a mechanism for expressing our grievances, and demand their accountability to the people.
- We support law enforcement and communities at their request, in times of natural disasters, civil emergencies, and civil unrest. This includes training our members to maintain a high skill rate in medical, emergency communications, and search and rescue capabilities.
- We stand ready and willing to protect our Constitutional rights. This includes our first (free speech) and second (to keep and bear arms) amendment rights and believe in the people right to a vigorous application of the Second Amendment should all other legislative and judicial remedies fail.
- We continue to refresh and refine our defensive and emergency skills, as well as educate others in the safe handling of weapons and the lawful and proper use of those skills.
Are the Oath Keepers a Militia?
Oath Keepers USA is not a “Militia” as defined by the media, although we support the right of others who are so inclined. Each member has pledged an oath to “defend the Constitution” and that oath is central to our organization. We hold the Constitution to be the supreme law of the land and we support the rule of law.
Who are Oath Keepers members?
Oath Keepers USA welcomes current serving and veteran military, police and first responders to join our membership, as well as patriotic Americans. We strive to honor those who have served through our actions and deeds. We hold ourselves to a higher standard and invite those of similar mindset to investigate our organization.
Is this the same group from before Jan 6th?
Please note that Oath Keepers USA is a distinct and separate legal entity from the previous “Oath Keepers” organization. It was created by the remaining Board of Directors and State leaders, who desired to continue in the original spirit of the now defunct “Oath Keepers” organization, under new leadership.
What are the Oath Keepers USA objectives?
It is the goal of Oath Keepers USA to provide organizational structure, guidance and alignment of efforts towards developing a mutually-supporting network of prepared Patriots who are committed to protecting and preserving our Constitutional Republic.
We are working to put in place the following.
- Develop guidelines, policies, and standard operating procedures around governance, education, and training
- Provide vetting of our membership to ensure the highest standards of membership are maintained.
- Establish a transparent and responsible financial system for membership dues and donations management.
- Establish a National Executive Council comprised of National, Regional and State leaders, to establish, execute and monitor organizational goals and initiatives.
- Assist in supporting Regional, State and local relief missions, events, and recruiting with resources. This can include some financial support managed through a centralized requisition and approval process, depending on available funds.
- Establish a National Oath Keepers USA public relations campaign to begin the process of reversing the dishonest attacks and negative media surrounding our organization and its members.
- Support programs for State IT and website development and support.

Why Should i join the Oath Keepers?
- We believe the Constitution of the United States of America is under attack and that our liberties are incrementally being stripped away by those who pretend to protect our rights.
- We believe that America is being intentionally forced down the wrong path by corrupt tyrants.
- If you feel the same and want to prepare, and refuse to stand by and do nothing, we encourage you to join our cause. Together we can stand our ground against those that wish our Republic harm.
Is my membership from the previous Oath Keepers still in effect?
Although Oath Keepers USA is a separate and distinct legal entity with no connection to any previous “Oath Keepers” organization, and as such is not obligated to accept past memberships, the National Board of Directors felt it was important to recognize the sacrifice and commitment of our member Patriots.
- Previous members will be required to apply for and purchase a current membership, and will undergo the vetting process, as with all members.
- For previously registered Life Members, proof of life membership status will be required, along with re-vetting and a one-time administrative fee of $50.
