Military conscription evasion refers to actions taken to avoid, refuse, or obstruct compulsory military service obligations under applicable state and federal laws. This includes conduct violating the New York State Military Law when it applies to the state’s organized militia, and federal statutes such as the Military Selective Service Act for national service requirements.
