According to the German publication Die Zeit, the Bundeswehr recruited only about 530 volunteers through a new survey system for young people.

In Germany, almost 300,000 questionnaires were sent out for military registration as part of a new system for recruiting volunteers into the army.

New Recruitment System

The new survey system is aimed at attracting young people to the army. However, as Die Zeit reports, the recruitment results have been less than successful.

The Bundeswehr is facing serious problems in recruiting volunteers. Despite efforts to attract young people, the army is unable to fill its ranks to the fullest extent.
