The Military of Cotland, also known as the Royal Cottish Military (Cottish: Kongelige Cottiske Væpnede Styrker) is the government entity responsible for the defense of the Realm of Cotland, its colonies and its interests abroad. It consists of three branches: the Royal Cottish Army, the Royal Cottish Air Force, and the Royal Cottish Navy. The Royal Cottish Military receives 8.5% of the national budget.
National Service
The Realm of Cotland actively employs conscription, with each male and female being required to conduct 48 months of National Service (Cottish: Verneplikt) upon completion of Secondary School or reaching the age of 18, whichever happens first.
The Cottish National Service System has its mandate in Royal Decree 35/1647 and Royal Decree 21/1962, and is divided into a military section and a civilian section. Most males are placed in the military, while those not assigned to the military are assigned to the civilian section where they spend two years doing community service to their communities. This service can be as assistants in schools and kindergardens, orderlies in local hospitals and medical clinics, et cetera. Conscientious objectors are also assigned to civilian National Service, but due to the Cottish Military's disdain for conscientious objectors, these receive an additional year of service for punishment for their positions toward the military.
The typical conscript has his first official encounter with the military the year he turn 18, when he receives an order to appear before the Selection Committee where the conscript undergoes a number of tests to determine his suitability for National Service and where he can best at the best service for the Armed Forces. The conscript is also given information about the various branches and types of service that the Armed Forces have to offer.
After the Selection Committee, which takes roughly one day, the conscript return to resume his or her normal life. Five months before the conscript is expected to report for duty, a notice is sent to the conscript, informing him or her that they will receive the official order to report for service within three months, and that they are expected to report for duty within five months. Two months before the conscript is to report for duty, the official orders are sent to the conscript along with information about what to bring of personal effects and documentation.
