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>{{Cite web | url=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 | title=Bundesgesetzblatt}}</ref> The remaining provisions of the Federal Border Protection Act were repealed in 1994.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.jurion.de/gesetze/bgsg/50/ | title=§ 50 BGSG, Beginn und Ende der Grenzschutzdienstpflicht | access-date=2018-11-15 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181116000909/https://www.jurion.de/gesetze/bgsg/50/ | archive-date=2018-11-16 | url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/bgsg/index.html | title=BGSG - nichtamtliches Inhaltsverzeichnis}}</ref> However, compulsory border guard service has not been enforced since 1973. Anyone who serves or served in the [[Bundesgrenzschutz|Federal Border Guard]] (German: ''Bundesgrenzschutz (BGS)'') can no longer be assigned to the [[military service]] (§ 42a Conscription Law) in the German [[Bundeswehr|Federal Armed Forces]] (German: ''Bundeswehr''). In 2005 the border guard was renamed the [[Federal Police (Germany)|Bundespolizei (BPOL)]] (Federal Police) and any mandatory service would be performed there.<ref>{{Cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RcPPBgAAQBAJ&dq=Grenzschutzdienstpflicht&pg=PA57 | title=Rechtskunde — leicht verständlich| isbn=9783663130871| last1=Verheyen| first1=Josef| date=2013-11-11| publisher=Springer}}</ref><ref>http://dipbt.bundestag.de/doc/brd/1994/D840+94.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book | doi=10.1007/978-3-658-10928-8_9|chapter = Einführung der Grenzschutzdienstpflicht|title = Installation und Konsolidierung des Bundesgrenzschutzes 1949 bis 1972| pages=348–376|year = 2016|last1 = Parma|first1 = David| isbn=978-3-658-10927-1| s2cid=163248420 }}</ref>
