R.I. Gen. Laws § 30-1-8: Conscientious objectors.

All persons who because of religious belief shall claim exemption from militia service, if the conscientious holding of that belief by the person shall be established under the regulations prescribed by the governor, shall be exempted from militia service in a combatant capacity, but no person so exempted shall be exempt from militia service in any capacity that the governor shall declare to be noncombatant.
