Russian Armed Forces Personnel

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on conscription of Russians for military service in October-December of this year. This is stated in a document published on the official Internet portal of legal information.

“To carry out, from October 1 to December 31, 2024, the conscription of Russian citizens aged 18 to 30 years who are not in the reserve and are subject to conscription for military service, in the amount of 133 thousand people,” the document says.

Military conscription in Russia occurs twice a year at the same time - in the spring from April 1 to July 15 and in the fall from October 1 to December 31. Residents of the Far North are always called up a month later due to climatic conditions. The decree on conscription of Russians for service twice a year is signed by the President of the Russian Federation.

Men who are required to be registered for military service and who are not in the reserves, aged between 18 and 30 years, are subject to conscription.

The General Staff announced that paper summonses will be the basis for conscription for military service this fall . A special feature of the fall conscription will be the possibility for conscripts to appeal decisions of draft boards in a pre-trial manner. A complaint can be filed on the State Services portal.

New recruits called up for service will not be involved in the special military operation. Also, conscripts will not be sent to new regions of the country.

NOTE: the Spring 2024 Conscription was for 150,000 and the Fall 2023 Conscription was for 130,000. A reminder that around 28-30,000 of those drafted each year serve in the National Guard, FSO or EMERCON armed forces.
