By 1647 control of the English Trained Bands had become an issue between Parliament and the Army, as it had been between Parliament and the King. The Army regarded the TBs as its second line and tried to wrest control from the politicians, some of whom wanted to use them as a counterweight to the Army, which was refusing to disband until pay arrears were settled. However, when the Army reached Hounslow the London and suburban TBs refused to muster, the politicians caved in, and the New Model marched in.

The Lines were completed by May 1643 and the City and suburban TB companies took their turns in manning the forts and key points, including one company on duty at Westminster. The London Militia Committee took over control of the Westminster and Tower Hamlets Liberties TBs and amalgamated those from the Middlesex parishes within the Lines of Communication with the Westminster Auxiliaries, a second regiment raised in April 1643 to help cover the duties. Thus the Committee for Middlesex only had a single regiment commanded by 319: 910: 810:, enacted during a period of international tension.

Under the Act, militia units could be embodied by Royal Proclamation for full-time home defence service in three circumstances: 1124:, the Middlesex and KRRC in the Thames & Medway Garrison; the 6th Royal Fusiliers spent the last year of the war in Ireland. In addition to their defensive duties, the SR's role was to equip the Reservists and Special Reservists of their regiments and send them as reinforcement drafts to the Regular battalions serving overseas, and afterwards to train new recruits. In October 1914 each SR battalion was ordered to use their surplus recruits to form a service battalion of their regiment for 1166: 926: 918: 302:, and that subsequently there were clashes between the new guards and the London apprentices. However, this story has been refuted in the most detailed history of the LTBs, which points out that the guards were provided by the Westminster TBs 'and the four neighbour companies' of Middlesex TBs all along, and it was only the commanders who were changed.
