civilian volunteers
Non-military community assistants
Civilian volunteers are ordinary citizens who offer their time and labor without pay, typically distinguished from military personnel or professional staff.
The phrase emphasizes that helpers come from the general public rather than official forces: Civilian volunteers helped sandbag the riverbank during the flood.
Common in disaster relief, community programs, and wartime support roles.
