Desantnik,
Thanks for the explanation! I am glad I asked. I knew it wasn't the "Army" :D
Using the word "host" I was actually going for historical connotation, I guess it was the wrong one. I was also trying to avoid using plural in English. Do you think this could create a problem in translating something like "представители казачьих войск", meaning several of them?
In this case Voisko is an administrative subdivision of Cossacks, composed of Stanitsas.
