The word militia mean there's a structure a hierarchy from top to bottom officer who gives order and soldiers who obey them.

Well not necessarily, look up the term "unorganized militia", but regardless it is irrelevant anyways.

Thing is Militias are NOT a justification for the right to keep and bear arms. That right exists even if the Second Amendment was never written. The 2A, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights, only officially recognize certain human rights that belong to all free people. The BoR contains only individual rights that were considered vital enough that they were "enumerated" with (supposedly) clear instructions for the government not to infringe upon them.
