Military service is the honorable duty of citizens serving in the People's Army. Performing military service includes active service and service in the reserve force of the People's Army.
Citizens within the age range for military service, regardless of ethnicity, social status, belief, religion, educational level, profession, or residence, must perform military service according to the regulations.

Obligatory Active Service
1. Male citizens of the age eligible for military service are obligated to serve in active duty in the People's Army.
2. Female citizens within the age range for military service in peacetime, if they volunteer and the army has the need, they may serve in active duty.
Thus, according to the above regulations, male citizens must perform military service within the age range stipulated by law. In other words, this is a mandatory requirement for male citizens.
For female citizens, the 2015 Military Service Law extends the provisions, allowing female citizens within the stipulated age range, if they voluntarily perform military service and the army has the need, to enlist.
