Inland of America you may find one or two militia units defending the province, but on the islands there is never anything but mobmen.
France has been building up stacks in Upper & Lower Louisiana (circa 1726), the Dutch have a mighty full stack in Curacao. I'm not sure if the AI recruited there, or transported from Holland. A Dutch colonial militia unit is now wandering around in my French Guyana territory (I'm playing GB).

I'm not sure what Spain is doing, but Florida is completely empty. New Spain had New Andalucia (or whatever the province south of Curacao is) full, before I took it.
