The Wisconsin Declaration of Nonmilitary Service is a document that allows Wisconsin residents to declare their conscientious objection to military service. This document, which is officially recognized by the Wisconsin Department of Defense, allows individuals to explain why they are unwilling to perform military service on grounds of moral, ethical, or religious beliefs. There are two types of Wisconsin Declaration of Nonmilitary Service: one for those who have not yet been drafted and one for those who have already been drafted. The former is an application form that must be completed and submitted to the Wisconsin Department of Defense, while the latter is an affidavit that must be signed and witnessed. With either type of declaration, individuals must provide a detailed explanation of their refusal to perform military service and provide supporting evidence to validate their claim. Once approved, the Wisconsin Department of Defense will issue an official document that can be presented to any potential draft board or military recruiter.
