Germany Unveils Plan to Become ‘Strongest Conventional Army in Europe’ by 2039

Well-known
Germany announced a new military strategy with the goal of building “Europe’s strongest conventional army” by 2039.

Defense Minister Boris Pistorius revealed the proposal speaking to the German parliament on Wednesday, and detailed a public outlining for the “future direction” of the Bundeswehr, the German Armed Forces. One of the goals of the plan, the German Defense Ministry said in a statement, is for Germany to take “more responsibility” within NATO.

The plan calls for a military personnel expansion that aims to go from around 185,000 active-duty soldiers to at least 460,000 active and non-active troops. Pistorius pointed out that the new strategy will not focus on fixed numbers but rather on specific capabilities and what the forces can actually do.

The German Defense Minister reportedly stressed that parts of the new military strategy are deliberately being kept under wraps and potential deployments plants will not be made public, and said, “Otherwise we might as well add Vladimir Putin to our email distribution list.”
