Armata belgiană şi-a atins ţinta de recrutare pentru primul său serviciu militar voluntar - Economica.net

The Belgian army has filled all 500 spots in its first military volunteer program, attracting over 3,000 candidates. The selected individuals will begin their service in the Army, Air Force, and Navy. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to increase military personnel by 2035. Belgium aims to raise its military strength to 34,500 active members, alongside a significant number of reservists and civilian employees. To enhance recruitment, medical requirements will be relaxed, allowing more candidates to qualify. The defense minister expressed satisfaction with the recruitment results, despite initial skepticism about the program's success.
