Probably a lower ST one for soldiers only parts of who's training is archery, and higher ST one for troops who're specialized, experience archers?
As you have capitalized "ST" I'm going to assume you mean the GURPS stat rather than real world draw weight.

Common soldiers will have ST of 10 or 11. Elite archers are trickier as Arm ST comes into play but anything less than a virtual PC will not go higher than (probably) a 13, including Arm ST.
