49. 百慕大维持一支由约 420 名士兵组成的国防军团，即百慕大皇家军团，其中包括一个由约 140 名士兵和 30 名全职士兵组成的长期“核心队伍”，外加兼职人员。2015 年对《国防法》进行修正，以规定通过自愿入伍来征募和维持军团所需人员，如果这样无法满足人数需求，总督可根据缺口修订军团的作用和职责，或授权强制征兵以补足所需人数。尽管军团的队伍历来是通过抽签征兵，但 2015 年至 2016 年，征兵完全以志愿者为基础，使得军团有可能连续两年拥有一个全部由志愿入伍者组成的兵营。
49. Bermuda maintains a defence regiment of some 420 soldiers, namely the Royal Bermuda Regiment, which includes a long-term “nucleus” of about 140 soldiers and 30 full-time soldiers, in addition to part-time members. In 2015, the Defence Act was amended to set out that the required number of members for the Regiment should be raised and maintained through voluntary enlistment and that if that was not met, the Governor might either revise the roles and responsibilities of the Regiment to take account of the shortfall or authorize compulsory enlistment to make up the required numbers. While historically the ranks of the Regiment have been raised through conscription by ballot, from 2015 to 2016, the intake was completely volunteer-based, which made it possible for the Regiment to have an all-volunteer recruitment camp two years in a row.
