(In progress) The Armed Forces of Rhodesialund have gained a reputation of being very mobile in the East Pacific, especially after Operation Buffer. Military service is considered mandatory at the age of 18 and all citizens must serve for at least 2 years. Then they can choose to continue serving or enter a citizen's life. After a citizen finishes his two years requirement, he is free to live their lives unfettered. Should a war ever break out, military recruiters will recruit veterans to serve again, but only with the citizen's consent.
