Civilian Conscript

A civilian conscript is a person who is compulsorily required to serve in the military or another government service, typically during times of war or national emergency. Unlike regular military personnel who enlist voluntarily, civilian conscripts are mandated by law to participate, often due to a shortage of volunteers. This can include duties such as support roles or non-combat positions, enabling the military to maintain operations without drawing from the entire population. The practice is more common in some countries, where a draft system is in place to ensure sufficient personnel for defense needs.
