An enlisted person in the military serves as a "worker" in the beginning and starts to manage and supervise as they go on. An officer commands and manages large group of enlisted servicemembers.
In the most simplest terms...A Centurion was the leader of a group of Legionnaires. Although many differences it is similar to today's military of Officer and enlisted.
An enlisted soldier is a soldier of the U.S. Armed Forces entitled to all benefits offered by the Army and are sworn in to uphold a contract. Drafted soldiers did not get any benefits other than medical if they were injured in combat and they are technically not in the Armed Forces so they not have a right to any extra benefits and their pay is also significantly lower than enlisted men. Drafted soldiers would be the equivalent of what a security guard is in comparison to a cop....EDIT: The preceding answer is 100% untrue. Draftees are entitled to ALL the same benefits as enlisted men. The only small exception was that during the Vietnam conflict there were certain incentives offered for enlisting. But they were small incentives, such as more preferable assignments AFTER your tour of duty, when you came back to the US. As far as where you went and what you did during a war, no difference was made between enlisted and drafted. All of the financial and medical benefits are exactly the same as well. Socially, hardly any difference is ever made between the draftees and enlisted men during peacetime, and during wartime absolutely no difference is made between them. They fight and die side by side and are brothers, regardless of whether they signed up or were forced to serve. Whoever submitted the preceding answer is not only ignorant on the subject, he has very poor grammar skills. He should be ashamed of himself.

The continental army had men who enlisted, and was like a regular army. The militia had temporary and unprofessional who were mostly farmers.
