Military Draft

A military draft, also known as conscription, is a system where the government requires citizens to serve in the armed forces during a time of national need, such as war or national emergency. It typically involves selecting eligible individuals from a roster to undergo training and serve for a specified period. Draft policies vary by country and can include voluntary registration, selective service, or universal conscription. The process aims to ensure sufficient military personnel while balancing individual rights and national security needs. Some nations rely solely on volunteer military service, while others maintain a draft as a backup readiness measure.
