Germany"s parliament has passed a law mandating military medical screening for all males who reach the age of 18. This legislation aims to ensure that young men undergo necessary health assessments as part of the military preparation process.

While military service remains non-compulsory, the government retains the authority to require male citizens to serve if annual military recruiting quotas are not met. This provision allows for a potential increase in military personnel should the need arise.

The decision comes amid ongoing discussions about military readiness and recruitment strategies in Germany. As previously reported, similar situations have been observed in other countries, where military service requirements are adjusted based on recruitment needs.
