Country A is at war with Country B. Even though Country C isn't involved in the war, many citizens of Country C support Country A. Some even go so far as to join in the fight on the Country A side, either as individuals enlisting in the Country A Armed Forces, or as free agents in units formed entirely of citizens of Country C that are affiliated with the Country A forces. These people aren't Hired Guns, although the money may be a motivation. They genuinely believe in the cause they're fighting for and may well bring their own military experience to the battle. Contrast Fighting for a Homeland. Compare the Legion of Lost Souls, which is a more specific sister trope based on a real life unit. Named after the American volunteer squadrons which served in the Royal Air Force during the first two years of World War II. They were recalled when the US was forced into the war proper. |

Rise of the Reds: One Ascended Fanfic introduced the Legion of Solidarity, a Russian-led peacekeeping unit composed of volunteers from the Federation's allies. The Brown Berets, as they were called, fought in Eastern Europe, Ukraine, Africa and distinguished themselves through their unexpected level of gallantry during the Russo-European War, but their legacy was overshadowed by Aleksandr's Shock Divisions over the years. | |

Valkyria Chronicles 4 shows that enough Gallians have emigrated to Edinburgh that they don't just have all-Gallian infantry units, but all-Gallian specialists - there are at least two pure Gallian Ranger corps. It's revealed that Gallia's stance of "armed neutrality" had been causing discontent for a while, and the Burning of Hafen going unrebuked was the final straw, prompting pretty much every able-bodied Gallian who actually wanted to fight for their country to leave to do so under Federation flags. The recruits are welcomed by other militaries with open arms, since Gallia's universal conscription means the new blood can essentially skip most of the training and be sent to the front in record time. Incidentally, this also explains why Gallia's own military is such a hot mess in the previous three games: by that time, the military was full of under-motivated "soldiers" who were there mostly for an easy paycheck, and politically-appointed top brass with little if any field experience, all collectively conditioned to think the disposable militia would handle a crisis without much effort from them. | |

Happens on a routine basis in Mount & Blade. For one thing, the PC is from outside Calradia, and can become a noble member of any faction if he or she so likes; for another, villagers of any nationality will join up with a PC to get involved in the fighting, and will personally remain loyal to the PC if they switch sides (though fighting against their own nation in Warband will cause a morale penalty). This overlaps with Hired Guns to an extent, as their motivation is more a paycheck and a better life than any kind of ideology. | |

GURPS Reign of Steel: During the current tensions in Siberia, a robofac owned by Vancouver went rogue. Incidentally, Moscow (who has absolutely no interest in retaking Siberia) had sent several hundred combat bots over to that robofac for a paint job, and the fac went rogue and "stole" all of them to fight back against Vancouver's reclamation force. Moscow (cheeky machine that it is) then asked Vancouver to compensate it for the lost bots. | |

633 Squadron features Cliff Robertson as an American pilot in the RAF in 1944. He tells a Norwegian refugee that before the war he was a barnstormer, and he signed up because he needed something to do after the barnstorming company folded. The film is silent on why he stayed on with the RAF after Pearl Harbor. | |

Happens fairly often during The Five Star Stories, most notably during the Colus/Hagooda conflict of J.C. 2989 in Books II & III, which saw both sides recieving large amounts of support from foreign soldiers. While Hagooda initiall has the upper hand due to being secretly backed up by the governments of two major powers who have a beef with Colus, after the king is mortally wounded and his Fatima partner is killed by one of the "Mercenary" batallions serving Hagooda, Colus sees a massive influx of volunteers from allied nations coming in to join the fight. What makes this interesting is that some of said volunteers are actually members of foreign royalty or high officials, namely Emperor Amaterasu of Delta Belune and President Mission Routh of the Trun Union, who are participating due to a debt of honor they owe the king for his assistance during the events of Book I, but decline to directly involve their nations' military forces in the war, bringing only select members of their Imperial or Presidential Guards. | |

In particular, the three choruses talk about No. 303 Polish Fighter Squadron, a Polish-crewed unit who had the highest kill-loss ratio of any Hurricane unit in the conflict, No. 310 Squadron, a Czechoslovak-crewed unit, and No. 401 Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force. | |

Victoria: The story sees both sides in the war between Azania and the Northern Confederation receiving assistance from foreign volunteers. Conservatives in the New Confederacy contribute the Jefferson Davies Brigade to the Confederation's forces, whereas the Mexicans aid the Azanians. In the Cascadia arc, the Northern Confederacy 'rents' the Japanese Navy for their battle with Cascadia for one dollar. It is unclear exactly why the Confederacy cares about environmentalists on the far side of the continent, but the Japanese make out like bandits when the Pacific Northwest gets carved up. |

Rifts: During the Minion War, for off-Earth political reasons, Lord Splynncryth is unable to intervene despite being an enemy of Dyval and Hades. So there's been a major uptick in runaway slaves and traitorous Minions of Splugorth who just happen to join various Earthling groups, and his slaving parties are "coincidentally" raiding in places where there are active demons and having to "defend themselves." Lord Splynncryth has nothing to do with this, of course. Really. | |

Babylon 5 has a number of variations (but few straight examples). The Anla'Shok, also known as the Rangers, are a Minbari covert operations organization run by the Religious Caste (since the Warrior Caste are being uncooperative jerks at the moment), who boost their numbers leading up to the Shadow War by recruiting large numbers of human volunteers, without the knowledge or sanction of the Earth government at the start (indeed, the current President of Earth is a knowing part of a Shadow-sponsored conspiracy). In the show's final season, with the Shadow War and Earth Alliance Civil War over and the formation of the Interstellar Alliance, the Rangers begin to recruit from the other ISA member races as well, as they take on the role of interstellar peacekeepers. When the Babylon 5 command staff is forced to purge large numbers of their security officers who had joined an EarthGov-sponsored watchdog group called the Nightwatch that attempted to seize control of the station, they are able to make up for it with large numbers of Narn volunteers convinced to sign up by Narn ambassador-in-exile G'Kar (the Narns are currently under Centauri occupation, with Babylon 5 one of the few safe places for free Narns, and both the Centauri and EarthGov are being influenced by the Shadows, so the station's fight is their fight). |
