US Sets Conditions for Foreign Nationals to Enlist in Military
The US government has outlined two essential conditions for foreign nationals seeking to enlist in the American military. Firstly, applicants must possess a valid US Permanent Resident Card, commonly known as a Green Card.
Secondly, they must demonstrate fluency in English, encompassing reading, writing, and speaking skills. It is emphasized that enlistment cannot be used as a means to gain entry into the United States or to secure a visa.
Age limits vary across the military branches, with the Army accepting enlistees aged 17 to 35, while the Marine Corps has a maximum age of 28. The Navy and Coast Guard allow enlistment up to age 41, and the Air Force and Space Force accept candidates up to 42.
Additionally, all prospective enlistees must take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), which serves as both a gatekeeping tool and a placement mechanism for military roles.
