Armed forces may be organized
as standing forces (e.g. regular army), which describes a
professional army that is engaged in no other profession than
preparing for and engaging in warfare. In contrast, there
is the citizen army. A citizen army (also known as a militia
or reserve army) is only mobilized as needed. Its advantage
lies in the fact that it is dramatically less expensive (in
terms of wealth, manpower, and opportunity cost) for the organizing
society to support. The disadvantage is that such a "citizen's
army" is less well trained and organized.
A compromise between the two has a small cadre
of professional NCOs (non-commissioned officers) and officers
who act as a skeleton for a much larger force. When war
comes, this skeleton is filled out with conscripts or reservists
(former full-time soldiers who volunteer for a small stipend
to occasionally train with the cadre to keep their military
skills intact), who form the wartime unit. This balances
the pros and cons of each basic organization, and allows
the formation of huge armies (in terms of millions of combatants),
necessary in modern large scale warfare.
Military science
Military science concerns itself with the study
and of the diverse technical, psychological, and practical
phenomena that encompass the events that make up warfare,
especially armed combat. It strives to be an all-encompassing
scientific system that if properly employed, will greatly
enhance the practitioner's ability to prevail in an armed
conflict with any adversary.
