A soldier is a person who is a part of an army. A soldier can be forced to join the army or volunteer to join.^[1]

Names and types[change]

There are many different types of soldiers: troopers, tankers, commandos, dragoons, infantrymen, guardians, artillerymen, paratroopers, grenadiers, rangers, snipers, engineers, sappers, craftsmen, signallers, medics, and gunners.^{[citation needed]}

In many countries there are soldiers that have special names for other reasons. For example, military police personnel in the British Army are called "red berets" because their berets are red.^[2]
