You do not have to be a US citizen to join the US Armed Forces. You are, however, required to have established permanent residence in the US and have declared an intent to obtain US citizenship. In addition to this, your country of origin must be on a list of approved countries to accept foreign volunteers from. Russians have been able to enlist in the US Military, members of NATO or western-aligned nations, of course, but if you come a country such as, say, Syria, Iran, Iraq, etc., you may not be approved to enlist.

∙ 14y agoNo, but you must be a permanent resident with a declared intent of obtaining citizenship, and you must come from a country whose citizens are approved to enlist as foreign volunteers into the US Armed Forces. Additionally, as a foreign national, you won't be any to serve in any occupation requiring you to obtain a security clearance.

Can a Serbian join the army?
For a foreign national to enlist in the US Armed Forces, they must have established residence in the United States, and they must hold citizenship of a country which is accepted to enlist foreign nationals from. I had no problem enlisting as a Namibian citizen. For a Serbian citizen, I'm not entirely certain.. I know US-Serbian relations have been on the rocks since your country got screwed over royally with the whole Kosovo business, but there were Russians in the US Army when I was in, so I really don't see why a Serb couldn't enlist. Only a recruiter can give you a 100% certain answer, and that's who you really need to talk to. It only costs a little bit of your time, and you're not obligated to do anything simply by talking to a recruiter.
