Asepalvelus, or military service, refers to the obligation of citizens to serve in a nation's armed forces. This duty can be compulsory or voluntary, depending on the country's laws. The aim is to ensure that the military has enough personnel to defend the nation and respond to crises.

Many countries have different structures for military service, such as conscription (mandatory service) or professional volunteer forces. The experience can also foster skills, teamwork, and a sense of national duty among participants.
