Etymology
My prejudice is that they were originally support troops used to manage and defend the supply train of an army. However, by the time John Walker published his dictionary in 1791, he saw the meaning as "TRAINBANDS, The militia, the part of a community trained to martial exercise."

Merge proposal
I propose merging Trained bands into Trainband. I think these are two pages on exactly the same subject, with the same scope (i.e. duplicate articles) The merger would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in Trainband.Lieutcoluseng (talk) 20:10, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
