They are referring to permanent residents, who are in the process of obtaining citizenship...

Thanks for the clarification on that.

Just so I understand, they are not however, natural-born citizens, correct?

Thanks-

You don't have to be a citizen to be in the Armed Forces. Permanent residents can be enlisted. To be commissioned, you have to be a citizen though.
