NATO request from Germany to increase the number of troops to 6,000

According to RCO News Agency, German media quoted unidentified sources in the German army as saying that NATO is trying to force the country to reach the number of troops from the current level to about 6,000.

According to the German newspaper DiV, the target is currently a number of German army forces; But in recent years, the trend of troops has continued, and in year 2, the number of active forces has fallen to 6,000.

According to German military experts, achieving NATO’s proposed goal is not realistic given the decline in the popularity of military service among German citizens. According to the military’s internal documents, about 2 percent of those who have joined the service leave it within the first six months. Among the reasons for these withdrawals include offensive clashes in the course, service in remote areas, and lack of career prospects. As such, the German army loses between 5,000 and 6,000 of its troops annually.

The service of the public duty in Germany has been canceled since year 2. However, in March, German parliament member Flory Han called for the Socialist Union Party to return compulsory service by the end of the year; Especially given the intensification of geopolitical crises in the international arena. On the other hand, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced at the same time that the army did not even have enough garrison to implement the plan and that data should be collected before any action.
