Conscription, often referred to as a draft, is the compulsory enrollment of individuals into the armed forces. This practice is typically enacted during times of war or national emergency to maintain military staffing levels. Conscription laws vary by country, including criteria such as age, health, and social status that determine who is eligible for mandatory service. Historically, conscription has been used by various nations to sustain military forces, ensuring that they can meet operational demands during conflicts. The process may involve selective service systems, where eligible individuals are chosen through a lottery, or broader mandates requiring all eligible individuals to serve. Conscription has been a subject of debate, raising issues related to freedom, equity, and civic duty, as it often imposes significant personal and social impacts on individuals and families.
