The '''Compulsory Border Guard Service''' (German: ''Grenzschutzdienstpflicht'') was enacted by the [[Germany|German]] [[Bundestag|parliament]] in the Federal Border Protection Act of 18 August 1972, based on Article 12a of the [[Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany | German Constitution]].<ref>https://www.bgbl.de/xaver/bgbl/start.xav?start=//*%5B@attr_id=%27bgbl169s0041.pdf%27%5D#__bgbl__%2F%2F*%5B%40attr_id%3D%27bgbl169s0041.pdf%27%5D__1542290943773</ref> The remaining provisions of the Federal Border Protection Act were repealed in 1994.<ref>https://www.jurion.de/gesetze/bgsg/50/</ref><ref>https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/bgsg/index.html</ref> However, the compulsory border guard service has not been enforced since 1973. Anyone who serves or served in the [[Bundesgrenzschutz|Border Guard (German: ''Bundesgrenzschutz'')]] can no longer be assigned to the [[military service]] (§ 42a Conscription Law) in the [[Bundeswehr | German Armed Forces (German: ''Bundeswehr'')]]. In 2005 the border guard service has been renamed to [[Federal Police (Germany) | Federal Police (German: ''Bundespolizei'')]].<ref>https://books.google.at/books?id=RcPPBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA57&lpg=PA57&dq=Grenzschutzdienstpflicht&source=bl&ots=dI2L9pnpEV&sig=evQ1ihN3bdIYICFjdNFr8fdlWgY&hl=de&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiBirvW4ZTdAhXqkIsKHbh3DHA4ChDoATAAegQIABAB#v=onepage&q=Grenzschutzdienstpflicht&f=false</ref><ref>http://dipbt.bundestag.de/doc/brd/1994/D840+94.pdf</ref><ref>https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-658-10928-8_9</ref>
For the compulsory border guard service, men can be called up beginning at the age of eighteen, if they were members of the Federal Police or they did not serve in the military or federal police yet. The mandatory service can only take place, if there are not enough volunteers joining the federal police. If the demand is covert with volunteers again, the service ends at the same time for the already drafted persons.
