Morocco started today Monday the process of counting citizens concerned by military conscription for 2022, according to the National Defense Administration.
The counting process, which includes classifying candidates and dividing them into different groups, will last until February 10 next year.
This compulsory system concerns young people who will be aged between 19 and 25 years old on May 16, 2022, and who meet the legally required conditions to perform military service.
4 new training centers were established to receive 20,000 recruits, in Benslimane, Sidi Yahya al-Gharb, Bankirir, and Tantan, in addition to other 4 centers that received the previous regiment before the pandemic.
The Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister in charge of the National Defense Administration, Abdellatif Loudiyi, said that the armed forces are fully prepared to receive the 37th regiment for military service, adding that a specialized committee is taking charge of preparing the training programs for the new regiment.
The compulsory military service lasts 12 months. During the first four months, the conscript receives basic military training, while in the last eight months of his service, he upgrades his training to a specific military field, depending on specializations available at the training centers of the Royal Armed Forces.
The conscripts obtain a monthly wage, ranging from MAD1,050 to MAD2,100. Conscripts in the southern region receive an additional MAD 300.
The conscript is granted periodic and exceptional leaves during the training period, health coverage and insurance for death and disability, and a military rank, according to the hierarchical system in force in the Royal Armed Forces.
