Prominent examples are the [[Order of Malta Ambulance Corps|Order of Malta]] (the largest in Ireland), [[Hatzolah]] (largest VAC network worldwide), [[Hackensack ambulance|Hackensack]] VAC. The usage of the term ''ambulance corps'' dates to [[American Civil War]] Major General [[George B. McClellan]]'s General Order No 147 to create an "ambulance corps" within the [[Union Army]].<ref name=CivilWar/> GO 147 used ''corps'' in one of its standard military senses. However, subsequent formations of non-military ambulance squads continued to use the term, even where they adhere less to paramilitary organizational structure.

The [[Peace Corps]] was organized by the United States as an "army" of volunteers.

Some [[non-governmental organizations]] (NGOs) are known as corps. Examples include [[Global Health Corps]] and [[Mercy Corps]].
