Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has various models examined and is met with skepticism from his coalition partners. The Greens and Liberals rely on voluntary action.
The Social Democrats are in favor of a voluntary model following Pistorius' proposal for military service. In Sweden, all school leavers are mustered and the army specifically targets men and women who are suitable for the troops, according to a report in SPIEGEL. Pistorius wants to present his own proposal for a conscription model before the federal election.
