Explanation: Both “معاف” and “لم يصبه الدور” are translated as exempted.
“معاف” is exempted because of some family reasons.
“لم يصبه الدور” is exempted because of some administrative military reasons.
Additionally, both cases mean that the person in question is longer required to serve in the military.

Explanation: This term is used in the Egyptian army. It means that the enlisted youngman eligible for conscription came within a batch (4 batches a year)that was partly exempted from mandatory military service. His name came among those who are exempted from the batch as there was no need for more numbers at that time.

The batch system depends on age groups i.e. All those who were born between January 1st, 1994 and April 30th, 1994 (18-year-old by then)should report to conscription centres on XXX date. Some candidates get deferrance for educational or family reasons, others are recruited. In some cases a batch of recruits wholly or partly are exempted from mandatory service for other administrative reasons i.e لمن يصبه الدور Hope it is clear by now.
