According to the Military Attaché at the Embassy of The Czech and Slovak Federal Republic in Ottawa, all Czechoslovakian males are eligible to serve in the military from the ages of 18 to 60 (28 Nov. 1991). He stated, however, that the possibility of someone being conscripted after the age of 20, or being required to make up for deferred service, in peacetime, is very remote (Ibid.).
The IRBDC is unable to corroborate this information at the present time.
