What are the requirements for being a militia? Do you need a physical examination?

Militiamen recruited by militia forces are generally registered by conscripts discharged from active service, and civilians are usually not recruited as militia. The militia is managed by the county and municipal people's armed forces departments. If you really want to join, you can apply for registration at the local People's Armed Forces Department.

Militia is divided into backbone militia and ordinary militia. Soldiers who have retired from active service under the age of 28, soldiers who have received military training, and soldiers who choose to participate in military training are incorporated into the backbone militia. The remaining male citizens 18-35 years old who were designated for military service were incorporated into ordinary militia organizations. Female militia only constitute the backbone militia, and the number is controlled within an appropriate proportion. The age of the backbone militia can be appropriately relaxed in units with special circumstances in land and sea frontiers, ethnic minority areas and cities.
