military volunteers
Unpaid service members
Military volunteers are people who enlist for armed service by choice rather than through conscription or draft.
The term often describes civilians who join during wartime or crisis: Military volunteers flooded recruiting stations after the attack.
It also applies to reserve forces and those who serve without pay in auxiliary roles.
