They were professional units but they were officered by foreigners .

他们是专业的部队，但由外国人指挥。

It would have to depend on volunteer forces raised , officered , and manned by politicians and erstwhile civilians .

它必须依赖于由政治家和昔日平民志愿组织、充当军官和加入的部队。

All this might seem an unlikely background for an elite fighting unit ; yet when the guard did take the field , they appear to have been well enough trained and officered to acquit themselves well .

The army was officered by brave men .

这支军队是由勇敢的人指挥的。
