Citizens aged 18 to 45 were liable for military service, and attended training sessions each month. They were called out for operations and had to assemble with army and three days rations. As Athens' empire grew they were posted as garrison forces around the Aegean Sea, or had to serve on the 100 warships which made an annual trip to collect the tribute which Athens imposed on the 180 cities of its empire - often by force. Males older or younger than the military age were called out for home defence in the absence of the army and navy. The resident aliens were also required to form a city-defence regiment of 10,000 as a price for the benefits of residing in the city.
