The ruling coalition in Germany has reached a consensus on the reform of the conscription system.

On the 13th, the ruling coalition in Germany reached an agreement on a new model for the country's voluntary military service system. They plan to adopt a mixed military service model, with a priority on voluntary military service, and compulsory military service will be activated when there is a shortage of soldiers. According to several media reports, after several weeks of negotiations, the CDU/CSU party led by Chancellor Merkel and the ruling coalition partner SPD reached an agreement on reforms to the national draft process, goals for increasing military personnel, and other content related to the reform of voluntary military service laws. "We will make voluntary military service more attractive, we want more young people to feel excited about serving," said Jens Spahn, parliamentary leader of the CDU/CSU party, to reporters. "If there are not enough volunteers in the end, compulsory service will be used."
