Hi FurryLovingGuy, welcome to the pit!

The option for this feature, ALLOW_MILITIA_STRATEGIC_COMMAND, can be found in Ja2_options.ini. The editor does not know of this, so simply use a text editor.

That message appears if

• the feature is off, or
• if you do not have staffed the Alam military HQ with the 'Militia command' order, and none of the following is true
  
  
  • a merc and the militia group are in the same sector
  • a merc and the militia group are in the same town
  • a radio operator is in a sector adjacent to sector the militia group is in
  • a radio operator is in a sector adjacent to the town the militia group is in
  • a radio operator is in a town adjacent to the sector the militia group is in
