Countries historically filled their armies and navies through various means, including conscription, voluntary enlistment, and mercenary contracts. During times of war, many nations implemented drafts to compel citizens to serve, while others relied on patriotic appeals to encourage volunteers. Additionally, some states employed mercenaries or hired foreign soldiers to bolster their forces. Economic incentives, such as signing bonuses or land grants, also played a significant role in attracting recruits.

What is the importance of an air force?

An air force can allow armies and navies to travel further, by providing air re-supply of men, fuel, ammunition, spare parts, and other equipment. An air force can hit and destroy targets out of range of army and naval forces. An air force can transport armies faster and further, than if an army marched there on foot or drove there by themselves.

What qualifcations to join the army?

Physically and mentally fit for military service. Records of Educational and Law Abiding backgrounds are preferably to be of good standing. Physical, mental, educational, and law abiding conditions of the recruit are based upon the needs of the service: 1. In the beginning of WW2, top notch men were the only ones accepted for service. 2. As casualties and other such attrititions consumed resources during WW2, men with missing fingers, limps, no education (which had normally NEVER been a requirement for enlisted men anyway), less than normal law abiding records, or other such difficulties, were admitted into the US Military. Note*Armies and Navies thru-out history; US, Great Britain, Russia, etc. have often used inmates from their prisons to fill the ranks of Infantrymen, or sailors to man their warships during desperate wars.
