The Cambodian military is technically under the control of the government in Phnom Penh. It consists of the Royal Cambodian Army, the Royal Khmer Navy, and the Royal Cambodian Air Force. Conscription exists in theory under a law that was passed in September 2004, under which males between the ages of 18 and 30 are required to serve a minimum of 18 months in the armed forces of Cambodia. This law became effective in 2006.
