actually, for BD, this is what reserve is.... these forces are not part of any regular army division/brigade... but in time of crisis, they will form part of that.... which means, their current format will not hold during times of crisis.... for Western countries, reserves mean people who are trained militarily, but do not need to serve in the military on a continuous basis.... but they are assigned to specific units and hold ranks.... they are regularly called upon to make sure that they retain their training.... in times of crisis, they are called to duty and the government bears the cost of these people's civilian services..... this is a costly system.... you need to maintain an infrastructure for these troops..... a lotta F-16 units flying in Iraq and Afghanistan were reserve units..... so were a lotta ground troops....
All the number you mentioned are serving not reserve. Reserve personnel are for invoking during war crisis. And BGB and regular Ansar members will not remain paramilitary then, they'll directly come under armed forces command thus adding to them. This is what military guys told me.
