“Compulsory enrollment and induction into the military service.

Conscription is commonly known as the draft, but the concepts are not exactly the same.

Conscription is the compulsory induction of individuals into the Armed Services, whereas the draft is the procedure by which individuals are chosen for conscription.” Free Dictionary

Conscription is not a draft, and is common in several Euro countries.
