The country’s military duty was suspended in 2011, and Bundesver is currently in the deficiency of nearly 20,000 military servicemen.
Germany increase the number of army of 60,000 military personnel in accordance with NATO’s new goals, consisting of increasing defense capacity in response to a growing threat from Russia. Currently, the German army does not matter. On Thursday, June 5, Reuters wrote.
According to the German defense minister Boris Pistorius, the German armed forces will need about 50,000 to 60,000 additional military in all types of troops. This will lead to the fact that the future of the German armed forces ranges from 250,000 to 260,000 military personnel.
A set of thousands of additional military personnel will be a major challenge for Berlin.
According to Pistorius, the government should decide whether the military service will remain voluntary and in the future if a military duty is restored.
In any case, according to the minister, the army will now not accept a larger number of conscripts due to the lack of barracks and educators.
“As long as we do not have such opportunities, we will have a spontaneous service -and, perhaps, even more, if we are a attractive -attractive employer and attracting enough young men and women who are hoping to serve longer,” she said.
Earlier, Germany said NATO countries should be forced to increase defense capacities to be prepared for Russia’s potential armed attack over the next four years.
