Yeah, a regular was a member of a Line infantry company (as opposed to a cavalryman or a scout/irregular). That is the militia should have equipment parity with a regular soldier.

Today that consists of a select fire rifle, rifle rated plate carrier and helmet, red dot optics and night vision, rail attachments like IR laser, flashlights, and underbarrel grenade launchers, apcs, IFVs, Top attack ATGMS like the Javelin, and MANPADs. The average American is woefully underequipped.
