In the sense of the world, it is generally considered a privilege of a recognized nation-state to raise and train a professional military force for self-defense.
In the United States, per the Constitution, these powers are vested in Congress.
According to the United States' Constitution, Congress has the power to both set up an army and a navy. Article I section 8 defines the powers of Congress and declares that Congress has the ability "to raise and support armies" and to "provide and maintain a navy." The President has the ability to be commander in chief of the army and navy, but can not raise them himself.
Leaders of nations typically raise armies but anybody can in all reality. William Wallace was a peasant in Scotland and he created an army to fight England.

The Elastic Clause is in Article I of the US Constitution, and it states that any powers necessary to complete the powers listed above (the expressed powers of congress), but not necessarily mentioned there, are nonetheless granted to the Congress. For example: An express power is that Congress can maintain an army. A implied power (powers granted by the elastic clause) would be to recruit, train, and draft citizens into that army. It could also establish military bases to which civilian access was restricted. The elastic clause has been used throughout US history to add powers to the federal government. It allows the federal government to expand its powers.
