Military Service Participation Period 2017

Participating in military service is considered a sacred duty of the young generation towards the country. When citizens reach the prescribed age, they will be called to enlist to perform military service for a certain period.

Law on Military Service 2015 stipulates: Citizens of military service age, regardless of ethnicity, social status, belief, religion, educational level, occupation, or place of residence must perform military service in accordance with this Law.

The period for performing military service for citizens enlisted as non-commissioned officers and soldiers serving on active duty in peacetime is 24 months.

This period may be extended by an additional 6 months in cases of:

- Ensuring combat readiness.- Performing tasks of disaster prevention, disease control, rescue, and relief efforts.

The extension of active duty service for non-commissioned officers and soldiers is decided by the Minister of National Defense. The service duration for non-commissioned officers and soldiers during wartime or a state of national defense emergency is implemented according to the order of general mobilization or partial mobilization.

The service period for performing military duties is calculated as follows:

- The period of active duty for non-commissioned officers and soldiers is counted from the date of enlistment; in cases where there is no central enlistment, it is counted from the date the People’s Army unit receives them until they are discharged by a competent authority.- The period of desertion and the period of serving a prison sentence in a detention facility are not counted towards the active duty period.
