In a report broadcast by Myanmar’s state media on February 11, 2024, the ruling junta said it would enforce mandatory military service for all men aged 18-35 and women aged 18-27 to serve for at least two years. Specialists, such as doctors, are required to serve for at least three years. The move comes as the Tatmadaw faces its biggest challenge to its rule yet, suffering heavy losses while battling a coordinated attack between several ethnic armed groups allied with pro-democracy fighters.
