"personnel" is too broad though as it could include all of the civilian support staff, admin staff, contractors, etc. Sometime you do want a term to collectively include all of these people, but sometimes you want to just refer to the ones actively doing the military bits and not the support bits.
Troops?
Troops is almost exclusively used to refer to Army personnel in the US.
Actually, yeah that works
