In Denmark, all male citizens over the age of 18 automatically enter the database for a possible call.
In Denmark, new legislative standards implemented on July 1, providing women over the age of 18, including men. The Daily Express reported it.
According to the head of the call program in Denmark, Colonel Kenneth Strez, the decision made by Danish Parliament in early June was based on the “current security situation.”
“They (women – ed.) May participate in NATO’s collective restraint. An increase in the number of conscripts will only lead to an increase in battle power,” he said.
As you know, to this day Denmark has 9,000 professional military personnel with a population of 9 million people. According to forecasts, by 2033, 6,500 people a year were held in the military service compared to 4700 in 2024.
At the same time, in 2024, women were about a quarter of volunteers.
According to analysts, the Danish government has decided to call women accurately because of the Russian war against Ukraine.
“We are monitoring the worsening of the security situation in Europe. Our conflict goes to Ukraine. We pay attention to Baltic countries, where Denmark has led many soldiers. Therefore, I think this is a general effort to strengthen Denmark’s defense,” said Rickeke Hughaard, a researcher from Royal Danish Military College.
As you know, in Denmark, all male citizens over the age of 18 are automatically in the database for a possible call. They were later invited to a special medical and lottery commission, where they were assigned a random number. This number determines whether a person will be called or not, as the army only gets a certain number of people (usually a few thousand a year).
Those who have fallen a “happy” number (high) are often not called without sufficient areas. Those who really want to serve (for example, for entering the police or other government agencies) may voluntarily go through the service, even if their number is “not -pan”.
Remember that the Denmark decided to immediately obtain three ground -based air defense systems for a low -the operations worth more than 6 billion croats (over 900 million dollars).
Previously, Denmark announced a 26th military assistance package in Ukraine with a total volume of more than 4.2 billion kro (more than 560 million euros). The package includes artillery, ammunition in the framework of the Czech initiative, as well as equipment for Ukraine’s wind forces. In addition, it is planned to expand Ukrainian military training programs.
