No, each of the independent Greek city-states had its own army. He recruited the numbers he needed from them.
In order to conquer the Persian Empire, King Philip II of Macedonia needed a well-trained and disciplined army, sufficient financial resources to fund military campaigns, and a cohesive strategy to overcome the vast Persian land and navy forces. Additionally, he needed diplomatic alliances with other Greek city-states to ensure support and cooperation.
The Macedonians, a Hellenistic people to the North of Greece, conquered an army of Greek city-states at the Battle of Chaeronea in the Fourth Century BC. Athens and Sparta were among them, but the Greak coalition was led by Thebes which had replaced Sparta as the leading political force in Greece, just as Sparta had earlier destroyed the power of Athens. The Macedonians were well-organized, skilled at war, and led by the able king Philip of Macedon. Greece remained a Macedonian territory until the arrival of the Romans, whereupon both became Roman territory.

The people of the Persian Empire provided the army and navy of the empire, including Egypt, Phoenicia and the Greek city-states of Ionia within the empire. The Persians enlisted many of the Greek city-stated of mainland Greece to their side - by bribery and threat. At the decisive land battle of Plataia in 479 BCE, a third of the Persian army was provided by central Greek cities such as Thebes. Macedonia and Thessaly also fought as an ally of the Persians.

Philip II was King of the ancient kingdom state of Macedonia and Alexander the Great's father. His name is made up of two greek words, ''Philos''=(Friend) + ''Ippos'' =(Horse), so his name would translate into English as:''Friend of Horses''. Macedonia was one of the ancient Greek city-states, like Athens, Sparta, Molossoe (Epirus) etc. As a Greek, he was married to a Greek princess, Olympia of Molossoe, from another Greek city-state, west of the Greek city-state of Macedonia.
Philip II never conquered any countries. What he did do was unite the Greek city states so that upon his death his successor Alexander the Great was able to take on and defeat the Persian army and ultimately the entire empire.
The Hellenic (Greek) world was not unified. It was a collection of city-states, some of which formed leagues in self-defence. Alexander's father conquered many of them in mainland Greece, and was made hegemon (leader) but still did not unify them in any sense of a central government or being king. He was King of Macedonia and Hegemon of Greece. On his assassination, his son Alexander was acclaimed King of Macedonia by its army, and he assumed the Hegemony of Greece in his father's place.
