The term of service of conscripts is two years, which is stipulated by the China People's and National Military Service Law. If it is changed to three years, this law will definitely be changed, but the revision of the law must be approved by the National People's Congress. So there is no basis for changing it to three years. Since the compulsory military service system was implemented from 65438 to 0955, the state has made many major revisions to the service life of conscripts. 1955 The first military service law stipulated that the army and public security forces should be three years, the air force, coastal guards, public security forces and naval vessels should be four years, and naval vessels should be five years. 1965 was changed to 4 years in the army, 5 years in the air force and 6 years in the navy by the decision of the Third National People's Congress. 1967 The Central Committee, the State Council, the Central Military Commission and the Cultural Revolution Group of the Central Committee decided to change it to 2 years for the Army, 3 years for the Air Force, the Naval Land Service Force and the Army Special Technology Force, and 4 years for the Naval Ship Force and the Naval Ship Detachment. 1978, the provisions of 1955 were restored according to the decision on military service adopted at the first meeting of the 5th the NPC Standing Committee. Service life: 3 years in the army, 4 years in the air force, navy land service force and army special technical force, and 5 years in the navy ship force and army ship detachment. 1984 promulgated the second military service law, which stipulates that the service life of soldiers is three years in the army and four years in the air force and navy. 199865438+On February 29th, the newly promulgated military service law changed the term of active service for conscripts of the armed forces to two years. The provision of extended service has been abolished, and China now implements compulsory military service and voluntary military service.
