After Sir Aivars Terekhov is rotated back to the Talbott Quadrant, his wife Sinead requests passage aboard a friend's ship.

** In a RealLife parallel to the situation described in the ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' series (see below), officers' wives who wanted to be close to their husbands could request passage aboard Royal Navy vessels headed for the port closest to their husbands' operating stations. In ''The Mauritius Command'' Lady Clonfert, the wife of one of the captains in Jack Aubrey's new squadron, shows up at his home to beg passage to the Cape. Jack is somewhat miffed by the rather peremptory way in which the request is made (Lord Clonfert is an English aristocrat with an Irish title), but also is aware that refusing her wouldn't look good. He manages to avoid having her on his ship through a bit of LoopholeAbuse mixed with ExactWords where he strictly specifies that she has to be at the dock, ready to go, by a certain date, and when she gets delayed by a bit, off he goes. (While Lord Clonfert is irritated, Jack has ironclad cover in that the Royal Navy does impose very strict requirements for ships to raise anchor and get underway - to "miss one's tide" is a Very Bad Thing. (On a different occasion, when one of Jack's commands is unavoidably delayed getting out of port, he and his officers have a few bad moments when they wonder if they will be called back ashore to explain to the Port Admiral why they didn't put out to sea at the specified time.)
* In the ''Literature/BelisariusSeries'', after Belisarius recaptures a Persian city his army is crowded with Persian civilians clinging to the Romans for protection. This is TruthInTelevision; many camp followers in history were simply seeking protection from the other army or from the opportunistic banditry that always comes when war breaks down law and order. Belisarius is also experienced enough that, when one of his subordinates suggests forbidding the camp followers, he knows that will just result in the camp followers still following, but at a larger distance; instead, he starts to bring the camp followers under at least some of the army discipline.
* Nicholette in ''Literature/SevenMenOfGascony''. In some ways, she is a subversion as she is not only a wine seller rather than a prostitute but she is almost prudish for the circumstances, being married to every one of the soldiers she serviced(one at a time of course until he was killed). The only irregularity was that her first husband was married in a French OldSoldier ritual rather than legally.

* ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'': It's repeatedly mentioned that the bulk of any army actually consists of the workers and support staff. In fact, noble officers are expected to bring their wives to war with them; the husbands fight on the battlefield, while the wives keep track of logistics back in camp. By the time the story starts, the armies of the ten Alethi princedoms have been camped at the edge of the Shattered Plains for six years, so they've turned from "armies with camp followers" to "ten small cities with their own armies."

* In the ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' series, the Royal Manticoran Navy will, providing the destination area isn't in a state of active combat, transport the spouses of officers and ratings aboard ships proceeding to the region in question on a space-available basis, and sometimes even allocates transport ships for the purpose. After Sir Aivars Terekhov is rotated back to the Talbott Quadrant, his wife Sinead requests passage aboard a friend's ship. There are a few awkward moments once she arrives in Talbott because the space in which Sir Aivars and his squadron are currently operating ''is'' an active combat zone (Admiral Khumalo, commanding RMN forces in the Quadrant, is unwilling to provide her with further assistance to reach her destination for that reason), but Sinead won't let that get in her way, and makes her own way to Montana, her husband's most recently reported port of call.

Also she's badass. Later on in the series (particularly in several of the "Grantville Gazette" short stories), the army of the United States of Europe (i.e., Germany) regularizes the status of camp followers, organizing them under military authority and discipline - in fact, some of the women devise and wear uniforms of their own - and tasking them with providing support services (cooking, cleaning, nursing, etc.) to the troops as described above.
