Agreed. The fact that one leader was assassinated does not establish a right of succession by assassination (see US Presidents, for example)

In fact, canon tells us little about the "official" structure of Maxwell's Militia. The unit in "Project Lucifer" has been out-of-contact for a century and can't really be regarded as typical. It's a small town security force with a big tradition

I like to see the Militia as something like the Chinese generals of the Warlord Era (1916 to 1940's). They might even claim allegiance to the Republic of the United States of America - but they're just protecting their own feudal fiefdoms. They operate the old feudal protection racket: stability in exchange for taxes & loyalty

I also see them as probable allies or clients of the KFS
