The country plans to increase the age limit of stay in the reserve from 60 to 65 years for all military responsibilities, born since 1966.
The Finland government has submitted a bill in parliament with the increase of a military reserve of 125 thousand people. If the document is accepted, by 2031 the number of army during the war will exceed one million military personnel.
It will make it the largest in the European Union.
The corresponding bill suggests to increase the age limit of stay in stock from 60 to 65 years for all military responsibilities for all military services since 1966. For colonels, the first rank captains, age restrictions will not be established – they will remain at the reserve as they will be appropriate for the service.
The reserve reserve term for soldiers and sergeants will increase by 15 years, for officials and unofficial officials – by 5. Only reservists who have their war appointment will be called on the fees. There are no restrictions for volunteers.
Similar trends were recorded in other European countries after the outbreak of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. In particular, France by 2035 planned more than double the reserve – up to 105 thousand people. In Germany, they want to double the number of reservists up to 200 thousand for the introduction of a six -month voluntary service. The President of Poland Donald Tusk said the army, along with reservists, should have grown up to 500 thousand from the current 200 thousand.
Earlier it was reported that Finland had suggested NATO put a new military base on its territory – Helsinki could be a basis for major NATO intelligence drones.
