What about service in AFU after 60 years: dismissal and continuation
The age limit is 60/65 years. Updated: October 2026.
Reaching the age of 60 is the basis for dismissal from AFU (65 years for senior officers). It can be extended for a period of up to 5 years at its own request. Details below.
Obtaining an age exemption
The dismissal order is issued automatically upon reaching the maximum age. If you want to extend it, you need a report with longer terms (up to 5 years of a specific employer). Demobilization everywhere as often.
