Volunteer Forces

Volunteer Forces are organized groups of civilians who actively offer their time and skills to support a country's military or emergency services without being full-time soldiers. They often include reserve units, part-time personnel, or community-based groups that can be called upon during times of war, crisis, or national need. These forces enhance military capacity by providing additional manpower, specialized skills, or logistical support, operating alongside regular armed forces. They are different from professional soldiers, as members typically serve temporarily or on a part-time basis, motivated by patriotism, community service, or personal interest.
