Most military units have a civilian aspect within the unit, often made up of family members and friends who do not wish to take on a military persona. You may find out more about those civilian groups by contacting the main person for the military unit.
Below are listed some clubs made up entirely of civilians with no military affiliation, as well as a few other civilian groups.
