The Freedom Youth Corps was the youth wing of the Confederate nationalist Freedom Party led by Jake Featherston prior to and during the Second Great War. Confederate youths (white and Hispanic) were encouraged to joined the Corps which provided paramilitary training and shortened the effective period of conscription. The Youth Corps also provided political indoctrination. Near the end of the War, in 1943-44, Youth Corps members started being mobilized in home guard militias and the National Assault Force.
