Volunteer Military

A Volunteer Military System is a military service system that maintains the military only with applicants without compulsory conscription. A country may offer attractive pay and benefits through military recruitment to attract potential recruits. Many countries with volunteer militaries reserve the right to renew conscription in the event of an emergency.
Another form of volunteer military is a Free Company, which stands as an army of mercenaries that were used between the late 3rd century of the first age and the 2nd century of the second age, recruited by private employers such as lordships and nobility during wars or for personal service, to which the use of sellswords was formed initially, but sellswords are comparatively costly.
