Yesterday (22), Germany revealed for the first time the new strategic documents for the most comprehensive revamp of the Bundeswehr in decades.
The documents include a ‘standalone military strategy’, a ‘new capability profile’, a plan for growing troop numbers, and a new reserve strategy.
This overhaul was first announced by Defense Minister Boris Pistorius in November, calling it ‘a historic turning point’.

“Defense leaders presented the finished documents to lawmakers this week, offering unclassified outlines for public consumption at an April 22 press conference in Berlin.
‘Rarely has a military strategy been as necessary as in this historical phase’, he told reporters. The documents, which the ministry describes as classified ‘living documents’ subject to ongoing revision, will serve as the strategic foundation for the Bundeswehr for the next 20 years.”
