What do they do for the military? Do they fight? Do they get paid? Are they outsourced musicians or are they actually part of the military? Also, why?

Here’s in interesting article by the former general of the US Army in Europe where he says a military’s band can be seen as an indicator of their strength and capabilities, since training and fielding a competent and talented band is similar to fielding a competent combat force.
