A question about new conscription policy: still basically voluntary? (leddit.danmark.party)

I'm interested in the new conscription policy being proposed.

From what I've read, women would be required to register for the lottery and service would be extended to 11 months.

My current understanding is that conscription in Denmark is basically voluntary. If you say you don't want to do it, they won't pick you? How exactly does that work if there's a lottery?

And would that change with the new policy?

You can choose in what military branch you want to serve your conscription time, like the navy, airforce or the normal military, but you can also choose to serve in Beredskabsstyrelsen (Civil defence). Right now that is 9 months and i haven’t seen if that is getting changed. Beredskabsstyrelsen helps with large fires, flooding, chemical and other larger disasters. So if you do not want to go in the military and handle guns, you can choose this instead if you are forced in the lottery.
