Conscript Army

A conscript army is a military force composed of citizens who are required by law to serve for a certain period, typically during times of war or national emergency. Unlike professional soldiers who choose a career in the military, conscripts are drafted from the general population, often through a national service program. This system aims to ensure the country has enough personnel for defense without maintaining a large standing army during peacetime. It fosters a sense of national duty and can vary in length and structure depending on the country's policies and needs.
