foreign troops
Another nation's military
Foreign troops are military personnel from another country, present on soil not their own.
The phrase typically appears in contexts of occupation, intervention, or alliance: Foreign troops remained in the country for a decade after the war.
The modifier foreign emphasizes their outsider status, often carrying undertones of unwelcome presence or sovereignty concerns.
