Armed forces commitments
Military obligations are duties owed to a nation's armed forces, typically including compulsory service, registration for conscription, or reserve duty requirements.
Citizens may fulfill military obligations through active service, alternative civilian service, or simply by registering for potential draft: He couldn't leave the country until he'd completed his military obligations.
The term also covers ongoing duties of veterans and reservists.
