Military Service Acts

Military Service Acts are laws enacted by governments to organize and regulate a country's conscription or mandatory military service. They specify who must serve, how long, and under what conditions, ensuring a ready military force during times of peace or war. These acts establish the legal framework for enlisting civilians into the armed forces, outline exemptions or deferments, and define obligations and rights of service members. Essentially, they provide the legal basis for a country's military recruitment system, balancing national security needs with individual rights.
