====Reserve service====
{{main|Reserve duty (Israel)}}
After personnel complete their regular service, they are either granted permanent exemption from military service or assigned a position in the reserve forces. No distinction is made between the assignment of men and women to reserve service.

The IDF may call up reservists for:
* reserve service of up to one month every three years, until the age of 40 (enlisted) or 45 (officers). Reservists may volunteer after this age, with the approval of the Manpower Directorate.
* immediate active duty in wartime.

All Israelis who served in the IDF and are under the age of 40, unless otherwise exempt, are eligible for reserve duty. Only those who completed at least 20 days of reserve duty within the past three years are considered active reservists.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.timesofisrael.com/just-a-quarter-of-all-eligible-reservists-serve-in-the-idf/|title=Just a quarter of all eligible reservists serve in the IDF|website=[[The Times of Israel]]|access-date=29 August 2017|archive-date=29 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170829172504/http://www.timesofisrael.com/just-a-quarter-of-all-eligible-reservists-serve-in-the-idf/|url-status=live}}</ref>
