Soldaten und Unteroffiziere
There are 3 types of "troops" in the US military, lower enlisted, senior enlisted and commisssioned and warrent officers. Enlisted personnel have to reenlist at the end of each enlistment. Officers serve for an indefinite period. Lower enlisted would be "soldaten" in German, non-commissioned officers are Unteroffiziere.

Wehrpflichtige(r)
is what we would call a conscript - I know, as my stepson was one; he has now decided to become a Berufssoldat.

By way of further background: conscripts (or national servicemen, as they were called in Britain) after training would normally be distributed among the various units; not all assembled into their own \"involuntary\" units.

Here, the \"call-up\" is known as \"Einberufung\" in die Bundeswehr;
in the US, I believe \"enlistment\" is a more commonly used term.

Question to chrclaus: why would the US army go to the bother of using \"enlisted\", if there were no difference between those men and regular soldiers?

Soldaten
ich denke, hier sind die unteren Dienstgrade gemeint (im Gegensatz zu den Offizieren)
Unter http://www.grose.us/faqdir/rank.html
findest Du übrigens eine gute Erklärung, das ist zwar von der Marine, aber bei der Army ist die Struktur analog, nur daß einzelne Dienstgrade anders heißen.

Mannschaften und Unteroffiziere
The term enlisted personnel is used in the US military to distinguish them from commissioned officers and warrant officers.
Enlistee - A service member, not a warrant officer or commissioned officer, who has been accepted by the military and has taken the Oath of Enlistment
