Depending where in the world you are, it goes by different names. In Britain, it used to be called National Service where every male of age would compulsory complete a minimum of two years service in one of the three Armed Forces; Army, Navy and RAF. In Switzerland and Israel, for example, both sexes are required for military service and must complete something like two to four weeks training every year to comply with law. However in the case of Israel, you can always be called up in times of crisis from the age of 18 until retirement, and yes that would include both sexes.

In the United States, there are a multitude of laws and executive orders which created and modified the rules around compulsory military service. Generally speaking, they fall under the umbrella known as "Selective Service". However, the U.S. does not currently require individuals to actually serve, only that they register for potential service.
