Mandatory military conscription is established. - Pistorius views questionnaires as a preliminary measure.
During a recent debate about various conscription models, Federal Defense Minister Boris Pistorius believes that sending conscription questionnaires to young adults is the initial step toward implementing conscription. If a defense case arises, conscription would automatically kick in, according to the SPD politician during a recent visit to military troops in northern Germany. However, there's a problem - we don't know where or who the 18-year-old young men are. This is because we're currently rebuilding the conscription system, which is why the distribution of questionnaires has become the first step.
Pistorius highlighted the importance of the reserve potential for the Bundeswehr, as it's a crucial component of the military forces' personnel needs. This reserve potential is developed through the training of conscripted soldiers or other military personnel. Regrettably, conscription was suspended back in 2011 due to financial reasons, resulting in the destruction of all structures necessary for conscription. Despite this, conscription remains compulsory.
