Service
The military service is held in three different tracks:
- Regular service: mandatory military service which is held according to the Siluan defenes service law.
- Permanent service: military service which is held as a contractual agreement between the Siuan Armed Forces and the permanent position-holder.
- Reserve service: a military service in which citizens are called for active duty of at most a month every year for the purpose of increasing the military forces in case of war.
Sometimes the Siluan Armed Forces would also hold pre-military courses for soon-to-be regular soldiers.
