Conscription in Sri Lanka
Conscription in the Sri Lanka has never been implemented in modern times with its armed forces and auxiliary forces remained all volunteer during the World War I, the World War II and the Sri Lankan Civil War. The Mobilization and Supplementary Forces Act, No. 40 of 1985 gives the Sri Lankan Government the powers to issue a A National Service Order to enlist persons in the National Armed Reserve.
