all drafts start with 65 years old men and above. the more the stste loses the war the lower the age of conscription becomes. it could go down to 14 years old boys or even less. conscription ,mobilized men are used for shileds to take all enemy fire and diver it from the valuable units , formation of the army that san actually do some damage to the enemy and win the battles and the war. that's why mobilized men need almost no trianing. any trining is pure waste of koney for the state in war. they are sent to die and shield the trained , so to speak professional army.
