The obligations connected with military reserve service are not always to be performed immediately: the law provides both for exemption from mobilization reserve service and for the deferral of its completion. For a reservist and his family they are an important safety instrument, but their use requires precise legal assessment and documentary substantiation.
We explain who is exempted, who receives a deferral and how these rights are exercised; below is the complete classification of statutory grounds.
Exemption from Mobilization Reserve Service
Under the law, the following are exempted from mobilization reserve service:
- a woman who has no military-accounting specialty;
- a person deemed unfit for military service due to his state of health;
- a person who has reached the age of 60.
Exemption means that these persons are not considered obliged to perform mobilization reserve service at all; exemption on health grounds rests on a finding of unfitness, formalized in the appropriate manner — it is on that document that the status changes.
