The Continental Army recruited soldiers through a combination of enlistment incentives, including bounties and land grants, appealing to patriotic sentiments, and leveraging local militias. To maintain soldiers, the army offered regular pay, provisions, and promises of continued service opportunities. Additionally, the army implemented measures to address desertion, such as improved living conditions and support for soldiers' families. These strategies helped sustain troop levels throughout the Revolutionary War.
