-------------------basibozuk / Wikipedia;

A bashi-bazouk or bashibazouk (Turkish basibozuk, "damaged head", meaning "leadless", "disorderly") was an irregular soldier of the Ottoman army. They were noted for their lack of discipline.Although Turkish armies always contained bashi-bazouk adventurers as well as regular soldiers, the strain on Ottoman feudal system caused mainly by the Empire's wide expanse required heavier reliance on irregular soldiers. Noted for their lack of discipline, the bashibozouk were a species of irregular troops employed by the Turks. They were armed and maintained by the government, but did not receive pay and did not wear uniforms or distinctive badges. They could fight either mounted or dismounted, chiefly the latter, but were incapable of undertaking major military operations, because of their lack of discipline. Their uncertain temper occasionally made it necessary for the Turkish regular troops to disarm them by force, but they were often useful in the work of reconnaissance and in outpost duty.
