Germany Unveils Major Military Reforms

Plans Include Possible Revival of National Service

By [Author's Name]

Germany's plans to overhaul its military will require more troops. We expect this requirement to be fulfilled in part through the reintroduction of germany's national service. Germany has unveiled the most sweeping military reforms since the Cold War, including the possible revival of national service. The least demanding form of compulsory service is known as de jure service, in which citizens are required to register for military service but are not obligated to serve.

National service is the system of compulsory or voluntary government service, usually military service. Learn the translation for national service in LEO's English-German dictionary with noun/verb tables for the different forms.
