Geopolitical tensions stemming from conflicts and the escalating application of military action in specific locations are rendering the assurance of national security a primary priority for nations. In response to these problems, numerous countries are evaluating optimal preparations for future threats, with one aspect of this plan being the revitalisation and enhancement of military composition. Recruiting young individuals for compulsory military service is crucial for maintaining national security and ensuring the continuity of military personnel. Young individuals possess the potential to become productive members of the armed forces, since their physical talents and cognitive adaptability can swiftly align with military requirements. The aim of the article is to analyse the attitudes and motivations of Swedish adolescents towards compulsory military service. The study utilises correlation-regression analysis. The survey was conducted remotely in Sweden. Participants were chosen using purposive sampling, ensuring they fulfilled the study criteria: Swedish nationals aged 18-29 who are now or have previously completed compulsory military service. A total of 102 respondents were contacted. The research indicates that adolescents' motivation to choose compulsory military service is affected by personal goals, social environment, and information dissemination methods. Furthermore, it has been noted that in Sweden, young individuals are more inclined to enlist in military service for pragmatic motivations, patriotism, and career prospects.
