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?

Ft Benning has brought back the [tradition](https://www.army.mil/article/160873/bugle_calls_part_of_army_tradition). When I was at basic training and jump back in the 80s I remember hearing like 8 different trumpet calls throughout the day with Taps playing as late as 11:00.
