Looking for a military term

ffuturesI think that there's a military term for this - a civilian who signs on as a temporary officer equivalent in the armed forces, subject to orders etc.
The idea is that I want a rationale for civilian characters aboard a military vessel. Reserves doesn't quite work for my purposes. I could make them civilian employees, but I think I want them to be a little more in the chain of command.
Any suggestions?
Later - I think "Acting supernumerary" will do.

How about "Seconded Special Duties Officer 3rd to 1st Class?"
