Cultural Forces is a cultural arm of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Professional musicians joined up and fought when Russia invaded. Several were wounded but recovered, and returned to active duty. They play for Ukrainian troops to keep up morale, and tour (USA) to show appreciation for and maintain support. From their web page: “We motivate civilians to voluntarily join the army, we work with the mobilized in training centers, we provide psychological support to units along the front line, and we work with the wounded in hospitals and rehabilitation centers.” culturalforces.org/international/
