In Vietnam, is it true that conscription be carried out the second time?
In the locality where I reside, there is a case where the Military Command carries out conscription for the second time. But as far as I know, there is only one conscription period each year. So, is the Military Command following the legal regulations correctly?
In Vietnam, is it true that conscription be carried out the second time?
Based on Article 33 of the 2015 Military Service Law, there are regulations regarding the time of conscription into the police as follows:
Annually, citizens shall be conscripted and requested to perform military service in People’s Army or People’s Police in February or March; in case of necessity for defense purposes, the conscription shall be carried out the second time. Regarding areas with disaster or dangerous epidemic, time for conscription and service in People’s Army or People’s Police shall be adjusted.
Therefore, according to the above regulations, if necessary for defense and security reasons, citizens can be called to enlist for a second time. Therefore, the Military Command where you reside has complied with the law.
