Most soldiers in the Continental Army signed up to serve for a duration of one to three years. Many enlisted for short terms, often one year, due to the uncertain nature of the conflict and the desire to return home. However, some soldiers re-enlisted for longer periods as the war progressed and the need for experienced troops became evident. The variability in enlistment terms reflected both individual circumstances and the evolving needs of the army.
