military service

duty in the armed forces

For military service in the meaning of (branches of) an army as military defense organisation, see armed forces. Military service in its simplest sense, is service by an individual or group in an army or other military organisation, whether as a chosen job or as a result of an involuntary draft (conscription). Some nations (e.g. Israel) require a specific amount of military service from each and every one of its citizens (except for special cases such as mental illness or religious beliefs). A nation with a fully volunteer military does not normally require mandatory military service from its citizens, unless it is faced with a recruitment crisis during a time of war.
