military age
Ready for service
Military age is the range of years during which a person is eligible for military service, typically from late teens through the forties, though exact boundaries vary by country and circumstance.
The phrase appears most often in wartime contexts discussing conscription or evacuation: Men of military age were prohibited from leaving the country.
During conflicts, military-age males may face particular scrutiny or restrictions.
