The Czech Republic has already reached its recruitment goal of 2,100 professional soldiers for this year, with a record number of new volunteers, thanks to financial incentives and an improved communication strategy. However, the army is facing a significant problem: a record rate of departures from the army, with 1,450 soldiers in 2024, which complicates maintaining troop levels. Currently, the Czech Armed Forces have approximately 30,000 professional soldiers and 4,900 active reservists.
