Nop they're not Paramilitary. They're so-called Reserve Army. But do not act like reservists in real. In other Reserve Armies, they're rarely seen in service. They're just like citizens living with weapon training, only called upon War. MF Battalion did not work like that. They'd only deactivate an officer for 2 years where hes free to run his own business or employment and he'll be back for 3-4 years. The cycle continues. Meanwhile NCOs and JCOs aren't deactivated at all. It's not how a reserve army works actually.
