German Defense Minister’s proposal to compensate for the shortage of army personnel

According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency quoting “NTV”, since the German army is facing a severe shortage of personnel, “Boris Pistorius”, the German Minister of Defense, proposes to extend the mandatory military service.

Even after German Chancellor Olaf Schultz suggested that reservists should fill the gap, Pistorius said he stood by the idea and said Germany must be ready to change its mindset about security. .

In this way, Boris Pistorius, the German Federal Defense Minister, does not rule out the return to compulsory military service. This politician of the Social Democratic Party told the D-Site weekly newspaper: canceling this plan was a mistake. Now, its introduction will face fundamental and structural problems, and of course the discussion about it will gain more momentum. Pak 2024 plans on how to change the structure of the German army will be presented to him so that he can perform the task of national defense and unity in the best way. He added: “Then we will see what this means for the size of the German army and everything else.” Be ready to change your mindset. The days of peace profits and low defense spending are over. Now we have to be able to deter a potential aggressor again and the Bundeswehr has to be “war-worthy” whether everyone likes it or not.

Like many areas of the economy. The German army is also suffering from a severe shortage of applicants for service. Before Pistorius took office, a target force of 203,000 troops had been set for the organization. Currently there are only 181,000. There are also 81,500 civilian employees for the military.

In early November, German Chancellor Olaf Schultz expressed doubts about returning to conscription. Schultz told a German military conference that he was “very surprised” by the suspension of conscription in 2011. To strengthen the personnel of the Bundeswehr, Schultz indicated a more intensive use of reserve forces. Pistorius had previously emphasized that a well-trained reserve should strengthen the German army in terms of national defense and unity.
