It has two meanings. If it is used as an intransitive verb (that is, a verb without an object), it means to sign on as a soldier/sailor/airman. "He enlisted in the army."
If it is used as a transitive verb (that is, a verb with an object), it means to recruit, to collect from sources around. "I enlisted support for my petition."
