asevoimissa

Asevoimissa is a Finnish term that translates to "in uniform" or "in military service." It generally refers to individuals who are actively serving in the Finnish Defence Forces, whether conscripts, professional soldiers, or reservists on duty. The term implies a state of being officially employed or called up for military duties, requiring adherence to military regulations and bearing the responsibilities associated with such service.

When someone is described as "asevoimissa," it signifies their current operational status within the armed forces. This can range from undergoing mandatory conscription training to participating in active missions, exercises, or other deployments. The term emphasizes the formal commitment and official capacity of the individual within the military structure. It is distinct from being a civilian or a former member of the armed forces who is no longer on active duty. The concept encompasses the readiness and preparedness expected of those serving.
