Women do not have to and therefore hardly respond to the military questionnaires of the Bundeswehr. The Ministry of Defence should rethink.
300,000 Young Germans Were Asked About Their Interest in Military Service – Result: 530 New Recruits
This year, people turning 18 in Germany will receive a letter asking about their interest in voluntary military service.
More applications for the Bundeswehr: After the launch of the new German military service law, the Ministry of Defence has a positive assessment.
The Ministry of Defense takes stock of the new military service. One in five 18-year-olds who have been contacted can imagine a service on the weapon. Only a few have promised so far.
Since the beginning of 2026, approximately 38,500 applications have been received, representing an increase of about 24 per cent over the same period last year.
The Federal Government has sent almost 300,000 questionnaires for the new Wehrungsbefassung, but has committed few recruits. Classic recruitment is better.
