The US Army, like the other US Military branches are an all volunteer fighting force, which means you have to volunteer to enlist. With your consent, being able to pass the ASVAB and physical you can then be enlisted into the Army.
Volunteer Military
No. Not in the United States. The US currently has an all volunteer force.
When men refused to enlist (volunteer) for the Union Army (US Army) during the US Civil War (1861-1865), Uncle Sam DRAFTED THEM!
1. The all volunteer Army! 2. The all volunteer Air Force! (they never drafted much anyway). 3. The all volunteer Navy! 4. The all volunteer Marine Corps!
Traditionally the method has been predominantly volunteer. When that was not enough the draft has been instituted. Currently we are a volunteer only force.
