The military was the citizens, all of whom served in the army and navy when called out in emergencies. The generals, one elected by each of the ten tribes, led the army and navy, and because the citizens wanted reliable war leaders, were elected on merit. As the political leaders were selected by ballot and could be anyone, they often gave the execution of political decisions also to the reliable generals.
The number of generals appointed by the assembly in ancient Greece varied depending on the city-state and the time period. In Athens, for example, there were typically ten generals elected each year. Other city-states may have had different numbers of generals, depending on their military needs and political structure.
