The U.S. Marines made famous their search for “a few good men.”
The United Arab Emirates (UAE), however, wants all its men—from the
ages of 18 to 30—to experience the discipline and rigors of military
life. To that end, for reasons of national security, nation-building,
and societal development, the UAE has instituted a universal
conscription program, a rarity in the modern world of nations. This
report is the most extensive effort to date to define and to
understand the UAE conscription program—its successes, failures, and
possible unintended consequences. The report outlines the
circumstances influencing the UAE’s decision to impose military
service for male citizens as a framework for an ambitious array of
defense, nation-building, and human capital aims. Included in the
report are details of the UAE’s program with a focus on important
innovations, initial results, and relevant implications.
