The Bundestag’s Commissioner for Defense, Eva H\u00f6gl, acknowledged that the combat readiness of some Bundeswehr units is only 50% and called for intensified efforts to recruit personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was reported by ntv.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 20,000 men and women are still missing to reach the target of 203,000 soldiers, H\u00f6gl said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In addition, many positions remain unfilled,” she complained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the actual combat readiness of many units is only about 50%, H\u00f6gl noted. “This is clearly not enough,” she warned, considering the tense security situation following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I believe that the personnel issue will be the most important in 2025,” H\u00f6gl stated, adding that “the personnel situation must be the highest priority for everyone responsible for policy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, she emphasized that Russia’s war against Ukraine has changed the Bundeswehr: “This turning point is also a mandate for further reforms and greater speed. This applies to equipment, personnel, and infrastructure. And we have not yet reached our goal.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported, the number of people in Germany refusing military service on grounds of conscience sharply increased since early 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent survey showed that 61% of German men are willing to take up arms to defend their country in case of an attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
