=History= =Mission= The Selengerian Armed Forces primary mission is the defence of Selengeria's territory and maintenance of the Selengerian state's sovereignty. The primary threat to these is deemed to be the League of Three Headed Dragons, an alliance consisting of Akiteiwa,  Kodeshia and  Hwangchu. =Personnel= The Selengerian Armed Forces are based upon universal male. All men are obliged to serve a period of 3, 9 or 12 months upon in the year during which they turn 18, although exemptions can be granted for a variety of reasons. In practice, accounting for exemptions, about 60% of Selengerian men complete their period of service and enter into the reserves. Selengeria calls up conscripts four times a year, in March, June, September and December.

The basic period of service which the majority of Selengerian men undertake is 3 months, during this time completing basic training and specialisation training before being entered into a reserve unit. The extended period of 9 months is served by a part of each year's intake in order to man the readiness formations whose role would be to delay an enemy offensive long enough to allow mobilisation to be complete. Once they have served their 9 months, most will enter directly into reserve units. The 12 month service is used for conscripts in technical trades, such as the air defence forces, or for conscripts who served 9 months and have been recommended as officers or NCOs. These conscripts will undergo a 3 month leadership training course at the end of which, the top 1/3 will be graduated as reserve officers and the 2/3 graduated as NCOs will be distributed between reserve NCO billets based on their performance. Once in reserve units, conscripts aged 19-23 are expected to be prepared to undertake 2 weeks of refresher training each year. From 24-29, this commitment is reduced to 2 weeks every 18 months.

When they reach the age of 30, men who were undertook military training are transferred into the. Whilst there is an official requirement for units of the to undertake 5 days of refresher training for their members every 3 years, whether this actually happens often depends greatly on the unit and available budget. =Army=
