The Dutch Defense Ministry has confirmed that its goal is more than doubled from 70,000 to 200,000,000, from 70,000 to 200,000,000.

Defense Secretary of State, Kijs Dunman, sent a letter to the House of Representatives, he says that security is “facing a major change.”

To increase the number of armed forces, the Dutch government will investigate the military service to all the youths who were summoned at the age of 17.

For now, it is a voluntary to complete this investigation, but may be compulsory as an interview or medical examination.

The government wants to increase the number of “residents”, that is, people who work a portion of the armed forces, often combine their service with civil work or studies.

They also want to encourage young people to participate in the service year of 18 to 27 years of age, which is automatically known and secure.

“The government believes that the current assessment of the threat must be created than the expected of an armed force.

Previously, it was aimed at increasing 100,000 people, including professional players, residents and civil workers. Last weekend, it was clear that this number would be adjusted upwards.

The goal is that armed forces should be prepared for an organization until 2027 in both peace and war.

“It is not only about the size, but also to put the right people, with the necessary skills, in the right functions and time,” Dhonman said.

Fear of Russia and the future of US security will pressure EU countries to increase the safety costs of the EU.
