The civilian authority for the Greek military is the Ministry of National Defence.
Greece currently has universal compulsory military service for males, under which all men above 18 years of age serve for 12 months. Women may serve in the Greek military, but cannot be conscripted. Greece is an EU and NATO member country and participates in many peacekeeping operations around the world such as ISAF- in Afghanistan, EUFOR in Bosnia and Chad, KFOR in Kosovo, etc.
Component forces and their organization

What do you think are some of the Prospects of the 3 Physical Components of the Greek/Hellenic Armed Forces?
Any new acquirement in the near future you are excited about?
Do you think that the Greek/Hellenic Armed Forces should opt out for Russian Weapons Systems?
Keep it clean, and lets discuss.
