Many soldiers were KOMSOMOL members - there was even a special gap in a military ID to indicatw wether one was or was not WLKSM member.
So a member of KOMSOMOL could became a soldier, but didin't have to (ussually). There were no special Komsomol members squads serving as a special military units.
It was rather something of a Youth club...
as for the age limit for KOMSOMOŁ members - simply if one was too old for Young Pioneers he/she could join VLKSM.
