About This Book

An essay analyzes the organization and principles of a nineteenth-century model of national armament, separating its two core elements: a universal, personal obligation to military service without substitution, and a reserve or militia system that keeps former line troops available for home defence. It explains how short periods of active training combined with reserve formations and occasional militia musters can produce effective forces, describes recruitment, exemptions and volunteer incentives, and assesses which features might be appropriate or ill-understood when transplanting that system to another state.
