The bill adopted by Germany aims to introduce a six-month voluntary military service, intended to double the number of trained reservists and strengthen national defense against Russian threats. The Minister of Defense, Boris Pistorius, proposes to increase active personnel from 180,000 to 260,000 by 2030, setting annual recruitment targets. If these targets are not met, the government could reintroduce mandatory military service. Critics are calling for stricter measures for recruitment, while the Ministry of Defense continues promotional campaigns to attract young people into the army.
