Involuntary Levy

The weakness of lesser men should always be exploited.

In the ancient world, it was sometimes deemed necessary to supplement trained forces with a levy of largely untrained men, usually to pin down or distract the enemy sufficiently for the professional troops to outflank them. In times of need, levies could be quickly mustered, outfitted and turned into an army whether citizens or subjects. Usually commanded by nobles or local dignitaries, they supplemented the elite professional soldiers. Over time there was a gradual move away from citizen and subject recruits to professional standing armies and greater use of mercenaries. Both classes were formerly levies who saw warfare as a career rather than a duty. In turn, this opened the way for promotion on merit rather than birth, creating armies loyal to generals rather than the old social order.
