~~No, one is required service for a set amount of time no matter if the country is at peace or at war, the other is when people that aren't in service get called to take part in a war effort.~~

Turns out in English I should have used "draft" instead

Yeah I know the word exists in both French and English and I expected it to have the same meaning, in French if you're talking about a conscription people would definitely know you're talking about war time.
