Duration

Universal conscription was introduced in Greece during the military reforms of 1909, although various forms of selective draft had been in place earlier. In more recent years, conscription was associated with the state of general mobilisation declared on July 20, 1974 due to the crisis in Cyprus (the mobilisation was formally ended on December 18, 2002).

The length of a tour has varied historically, between 12-36 months depending on various factors particular to the conscript, and the political situation. Although women are accepted into the Greek army on a voluntary basis, they are not required to enlist, as men are. Soldiers receive no health insurance, but they are provided medical support during their army service, including hospitalization costs.

As of 2006, Greece has mandatory military service of 12 months for men between the ages of 19 and 45. However, as the Armed forces had been gearing towards a complete professional army system, the government had promised that the mandatory military service would be cut to 6 months by 2008 or even abolished completely. However, this timetable is under reconsideration as of April 2006, due to severe manpower shortages. These were caused by a combination of (a) financial difficulties, which meant that professional soldiers could not be hired at the projected rate, and (b) widespread use of the deferement process, which meant that 66% of the draftees deferred service in 2005.

Greek males between the age of 18 and 60 who live in strategically sensitive areas may be required to serve part-time in the National Guard (Ethnofylaki Greek: Εθνοφυλακή). Service in the Guard is paid.

In 1998, the Greek Parliament voted law 2641 which mandated enrollment of Greek men and women between 18 and 60 years of age into a Civil Defence Organisation (Palaiki Amina Greek: Παλλαϊκή Άμυνα, ΠΑΜ). It was envisaged that the Civil Defence Organisation would respond to enemy action, natural disasters and all sorts of emergencies, but the law was never enforced.

Reduced tour

Currently, the length of a tour is 12 months, but conscripts may serve a reduced tour for various social or other reasons. Some common categories of conscripts serving reduced tours are:

Citizens who have been living constantly abroad since their eleventh birthday and whose parents are not employed by the Greek state are required to serve six months.; Citizens who moved to Greece before their eleventh birthday from countries of the former Eastern Block or Turkey. These consripts are required to serve three months.; Scientists involved in outstanding research may serve three to six months, but are required to buy off the remaining duration of the normal tour at 293,47 Euros per month not served. These conscripts may fulfill their military obligations in disjointed tours of two months.; Members of large families (over three children) may serve between six and nine months. In most cases this applies only to the oldest brothers.; Fathers or citizens whose income is required to support elderly parents usually serve a nine month tour.; Citizens whose father above the age of 70 serve a nine month tour,though this usually applies to the oldest borther only.; Citizens whose father has passed away serve a nine month tour,though this usually applies to the oldest brother only.;
