The press: In the next few months, a commission will discuss changes to compulsory military service. What would be desirable from your point of view?
Erich Cibulka: You have to take into account that the threats change. In the past 20 years, the threats have been classified as falling, so the armed forces have also been reduced. Now the geopolitic situations have shifted. Armed Forces grow again in terms of their equipment with equipment and weapons, but also with regard to the man’s strengths.
It is now 55,000 men. Too little?
All calculations for a larger crisis assume that you will need significantly more. Possibly even twice as much. But that is idle, as long as we have not reached the mobile strength with combined soldiers, and that is the case at the moment.
