Germany is one of the last NATO countries that still maintain compulsory military service. Men over 18 of German citizenship are subject to conscription. The time of conscription is 9 months. Due to the Bundeswehr’s General Inspector’s order of January 2007, the Reserve Forces’ manpower number 95 thousand, i.e.: Land Forces - 35 thousand; Air Forces - 15.3 thousand; Navy - 4,3 thousand; Medical support units - 13.9 thousand; Support and maintenance units - 25.7 thousand; Federal Ministry of Defence - 800. This number includes 20 thousand officers, 63 thousand NCOs and 12 thousand of other soldiers. Personnel reserve resources of the German Armed Forces are divided into three categories: Reinforcement Reserve (46 thousand) comprises reserve soldiers who hold mobilization assignments on concrete posts. Personnel Reserve (49 thousand) includes mainly specialists - volunteers who hold active duty as a part time job and have temporary assignments to military units. General Reserve comprising remaining reserve soldiers who may be called up in case of mobilization (aged under 60). There has been a heated discussion in Germany recently concerning abolishing compulsory military service. Several environments, basing on NATO countries’ significant majority, suggest introducing professional military service arguing that the character of modern threats favours this kind of the army. Referring in this context to the Reserve Forces’ functioning, it must be stated that in fact the process of creating voluntary reserve forces started in 2003 when the principles of voluntary reserve forces defined in the “Concept of Bundeswehr’s Reserve Forces” were implemented. Taking into consideration the achievements in this area, it seems that this direction of transformation is to attain a total success.

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.
