In "US Military English" = Private [implictly "Draftee") Saalem MusaleH

Greetings... ahalan wa sahalan...

That military term translates -- along with the parenthetical term added ONLY for clarity of the original Arabic context -- into current "US Military English" terminology as:

Private (Conscript) Saalem MuselaH

BACKGROUND:

[1] Since the US military no longer has a system of conscription/draft, the status of a US citizen who was a newly-inducted soldier until the early 12970s (when the draft was abolished) as an involuntary conscript/draftee would be apparent by the type of service number assigned to him, rather than use of the adjective "conscript."

[2] The rank of "Private" is the lowest US military rank and normally ascribed to a newly-enlisted soldier immediately upon his/her entry onto active duty.

[3] The descriptor "Mukkalef" ("conscript" or "draftee") reflects the British system of military ranks and has been adapted & used in the armies of Iraq and Jordan. (That term appeared in many of unit rosters of assigned personnel I screened at abandoned Iraqi Army military camps in NW Iraq in the Kurdish region in 1991.)

Hope this helps. Khair, in shaa' Allah.
