The German government today adopted a draft law that would first introduce voluntary military service, which could become mandatory if recruitment plans are not met, the government cabinet announced.
The Ministry of Defense hopes that the six-month voluntary program will help double the number of trained reservists from the current level of around 100,000, and that some of the volunteers will continue their careers in active service.
Minister Boris Pistorius wants to increase the number of soldiers in service from 180,000 to 260,000 by the early 2030s in order to meet new NATO goals and strengthen defense — part of a planned increase in military spending.
