The article describes the history, development and current principles of compulsory military service in the USA. Firstly, the beginnings of this kind of service and the use of conscripts in the Civil War is presented. Then the use and evolution of conscription in both world wars, in Korean and Vietnam war are discussed. Further, the transition to voluntary armed forces and resignation from conscripts are shown. Later the current form of recruitment is described. The purposefulness of maintaining such a system and its usefulness to replenish the number of US soldiers (also in reference to the Polish Armed Forces) is assessed in the conclusion. The author has undertaken this topic so as to inform the readers and make them understand the specific character of American system of selective service and the probable use of the experience in this field in Poland. The subject of the article gains a special importance in the context of ongoing professionalization of the Polish Armed Forces and suspending the conscription service. The author suggests analyzing the principles of similar systems functioning in other European countries due to historical, political, social and economic conditions similar to Polish ones.
