The Molovian National Army (Skrebic: Моловиан Народна Армија, tr. Molovian Narodna Armija) is the military service of the Socialist Soviet Republic of Molovia, established after the dissolution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Skrebićia. On 5 January 1994, Vladan Dragonjić signed a premier decree establishing the Molovian Ministry of Defence and placing all Skrebićian Armed Forces troops on the territory of the SSRM under Molovian control. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces is the Premier of Molovia. The Molovian National Army was formed in 1994.

Personnel

I, (name), a citizen of the Socialist Soviet Republic of Molovia, by joining the ranks of the National Army; take an oath and solemnly swear to be an upright, brave, disciplined, vigilant soldier, to strictly preserve military and government secrets, and to execute without, contradiction, all military regulations and orders of commanders and superiors. I swear to learn conscientiously the trade of war, to protect with all means the military and peoples' property, and to be devoted to my people, my Soviet homeland, and the Soviet Government to my last breath. I will always be ready to report, by order of the Soviet Government, as a soldier of the National Army for the defense of my homeland, the Socialist Soviet Republic of Molovia. I swear to defend it bravely and wisely with all my strength and in honor, without sparing my blood and without regard for my life to achieve a complete victory over the enemy. Should I break my solemn oath, may severe penalties of the Soviet Law, the overall hatred, and the contempt of the working masses strike me.

The Oath which all conscripts take upon service in the National Army and Aviation.

Conscription is used in Molovia; the term of service being 24 months; and eligible age is between 18 and 27 years old. Deferments are provided to undergraduate and graduate students, people solely supporting disabled relatives, parents of at least two children and people holding Ph.D.

The ranks of the Molovian military are also open to non-Molovian citizens. By December 2003, the Supreme Soviet had approved a law in principle to permit the National Army to employ foreign nationals on contract by offering them Russian citizenship after several years service. Under a 2010 Defence Ministry plan, foreigners without dual citizenship would be able to sign up for five-year contracts and will be eligible for Molovian citizenship after serving three years. Each soldier in duty receives Identity Card of the Molovian National Army.

National Army

The National Army is the main and only branch of the Molovian military. It's foundation began in 1994, following the Dissolution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Skrebićia. Comprised mainly of inherited equipment, not many advances had been made aside from electronics and soldier comfort. One point that made Skrebićia's military a joke was the use of footwraps instead of wool socks. The Premier, a former soldier and general, has made amends to shape the National Army into a more efficient fighting machine. One of the major changes came through mundane means. The issuing of wool socks to every member of the military became standard, along with body armor. These moves have reduced the elitism formerly present between officers and enlisted.
