Command : ENLIST
NAME
enlist - Turn civilians into military
Level: Basic
SYNTAX
[##:##] Command : enlist
The enlist command converts civilians into military in the sectors specified.
Military "created" by the enlist command are actually reserves called up from
your country's military reserve. If your country has no military reserves
(created by "demobilize") then no civilians will be converted and no military
will be generated.
After the program has collected any necessary information, it will list each
sector where civilians answer the call and the number who showed up followed
by the total number of military resulting (in parentheses).
If is a positive number that many draftees will be sought in each
sector regardless of any military already in the sector.
If is a negative number of the form -xxxxxx, then an enlistment quota is
established and the draft board will attempt to enlist enough in each sector
to bring the total number of military up to xxxxxx in each sector.
Although the program tries to draft the specified number of civilians in each
sector only one-half of the civilians in a sector can be called upon at any
one time.
Civilians in conquered sectors (the conquered populace) will not serve in your
armed forces.
