A military oath, also known as the oath of enlistment or swearing-in is an oath delivered by a Conscription or volunteer upon enlisting into the state's Military. Various states have different phrasings of the oath, with the common component being the fidelity to the state and obedience to the superior officers. In the ancient times it was a very solemnity procedure. In modern times, with many formal laws and regulations to maintain army discipline, it is still a solemn, but rather a formality event. "Oath, military", In: Thomas Wilhelm, A Military Dictionary and Gazetteer, 2019 (e-book edition), originally published in 1881
