Comparison of conscripts, militia and professional armed forces / Erik Görner. -- The main aim of the article “Comparison of conscript, militia and professional armed forces” is the comparison of three main models of armed forces that secure territories of its states in today’s world. The comparison is based on the results of SWOT analysis of each of the models of armies that are subjected to the comparison in this article. In the process of collecting the research material we used the method of studying available books, journals and other printed documents including web pages related to our topic. Among evaluation methods, we mainly used the method of comparison, analysis, SWOT analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction. Application of the methods finally led to these conclusions: the professional army or conscript army with a broad professional core are the most efficient models. A militia army is a certain type of a conscript army, mainly because they both apply the system of a universal military service.
