Germany to restructure its army so that it is “prepared for war” Minister of Defense announces a profound restructuring of the Armed Forces. Possible reintroduction of compulsory military service to address the deficit of recruits.
Germany will in the future also have a fourth armed force dedicated to cybersecurity and information security (CIR), which will be specialized in electronic warfare and cyber operations, reconnaissance and protection of electronic infrastructures. The army is suffering from demographic change: the workforce is aging and there are not enough qualified workers to replace them.
