The General Mobilization and Recruitment Authority is responsible for enlisting the general population in Houthi-controlled areas for military service. It coordinates with the Jihad Preparation Officer to recruit fighters, often through a combination of social pressure and religious rhetoric. The authority plays a critical role in expanding the Houthi military forces by encouraging mass participation, using propaganda, and leveraging local leaders and tribal connections to meet recruitment goals.
