I guess maybe these guys will be deployed well behind the lines guarding depots and stuff. But I have a hard time seeing how they could be deployed on the front lines or in areas where they have to maneuver and coordinate with regular forces.
I presume most of the volunteer fighters are guys with actual experience. Basically unpaid mercenaries. Assuming they speak the language, you could probably integrate a trained soldier into an existing army somewhat quickly.

I do agree, if its just random untrained people running amok, it's probably not overly helpful.
