The new coalition government in Germany formed by the CDU/CSU and SPD is navigating a contentious issue regarding military conscription. The CDU/CSU favors reintroducing some form of military service, proposing to follow the Swedish model of voluntary service paired with a mandatory questionnaire for young citizens. Acting Defense Minister Boris Pistorius is focused on generating more military volunteerism and suggests a military registration system to efficiently manage and mobilize citizens of military age in crises. The coalition emphasizes the importance of selective recruitment to enhance military service appeal and readiness.
We will strengthen military service in Germany, following the Swedish model at first on a voluntary basis.
The idea is to select those who are the fittest, most suitable, and most motivated for military service.
A military registration system is designed to collect information on all citizens of military age, including data on age, health, abilities, and military experience.
Respect through demanding service, combined with opportunities, will make military service more attractive.
