Conscription
There is military service for all male Besmenian citizens who reach the age of 18. Women have been allowed to do voluntary military service since 1987. The duration of military service has been 5 months since January 1, 1986, before that it was 8 months.
Civilian service has existed in Besmenia since 1983, which has since served as an alternative to military service for people who refuse to do military service for reasons of conscience. Before the introduction of the civilian service, conscripts who refused to carry out armed service for reasons of conscience could, upon application, do regular "presence service without weapons", the duration of which was two months longer than that of regular military service. Since 2005, service abroad has been possible as a substitute for regular civilian service, and since 2014 it has also been possible to do a voluntary social year and a voluntary environmental protection year as a substitute.
International operations
