Remember that Eridaor was nearly deserted. In fact, if you like at a third age population chart in the Atlas of Middle earth, Eriador isn't even counted for anything: not even the Angle is. There must have literally been less than 100,000 dunedain remaining.

In other words, femaie rangers aside, Im not keen on this suggestion. Rangers are elusive and mysterious, and a guerrilla force. They don't build massive forts everywhere. These guys were said to be bandits by bree-folk, remember that. That implies they probably live in caves and camps. You'd think someone would know if they had massive forts out there.

Tokien also never mentioned any Dunedain militia. Rangers are already OP, we don't need more troops.

Milita also wouldn't use Arnor armor, because it's supposed to be rare. Milita are light infantry troops: they don't use bulky plate mail.
