THE CONCEPTION OF RESERVE FORCES TRAINING IN CERTAIN MODERN ARMED FORCES
THE CONCEPTION OF RESERVE FORCES TRAINING IN CERTAIN MODERN ARMED FORCES

Summary/Abstract: Today, defence, as defined in the basic laws, encompasses more than just traditional national defence against a conventional attack, which previously solely determined the structures of the Ministers of Defence but no longer corresponds with the current security policy requirements. It must be ensured that the ability to conduct national defence operations against a conventional attack can be reconstituted within a foreseeable, albeit prolonged, period. This new orientation of the majority of modern armed forces determines the organisation, training, assignment and availability of male or female reservists. The obligation to provide assistance in a state of tension or defence emergency and the performance of basic military service as basic principles will remain. Modern training opportunities for reservists, increased use of their civilian qualifications, close communication with the employers and individually tailored military service are the keys to success.
