- The new voluntary military service, which started at the beginning of the year, is primarily intended to help build up the reserve.
- According to Bastian Ernst, the reserve would be responsible in a defense situation for homeland security and for supporting and supplying passing allied formations, and accounts for 43 percent of Bundeswehr personnel.
We hope people read this letter and say: I was in the Bundeswehr 20 years ago, and that was actually a nice time.— Bastian Ernst, President of the Reservists Association, in an interview with Handelsblatt

- Thomas Röwekamp calls for ending the dual voluntary system for reservists' participation in military drills.
- Currently, both reservists and their employers must agree, complicating operational planning.
- Improved job protection measures are demanded to prevent disadvantages for reservists under the new rules.
- The Bundeswehr aims to increase active troops to 260,000 and reservists to 200,000 by 2035.
