Germany hopes to attract tens of thousands more military recruits as NATO strengthens its defenses
- Germany is preparing to provide medical care for as many as one thousand injured soldiers each day in the event of a major conflict involving NATO and Russia.
- This preparation comes in response to Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and a series of recent unauthorized flights by Russian aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles into NATO-controlled airspace.
- Germany is expanding its medical services by adopting lessons from Ukraine, developing flexible transport options like hospital trains and buses, and increasing air evacuation capabilities.
- Surgeon General Ralf Hoffmann indicated that the likely number of injured soldiers could reach about 1,000 daily, and he projected that approximately 15,000 hospital beds would be required from Germany’s overall capacity of 440,000 beds to accommodate them.
- These military medical preparations and NATO consultations signal heightened readiness amid escalating tensions, despite Kremlin denials of preparing for war with the alliance.
