Sweden Proposes Raising Reserve Officer Age Limit to 70
Israa Farhan Sweden is considering a major shift in its defense recruitment policy by raising the conscription age for former military officers in the reserves from 47 to 70 years old, according to a proposal submitted by a government-appointed committee. The proposal, reported by Swedish broadcaster SVT, comes in response to the country's planned large-scale expansion of its armed forces in the coming years. The measure would apply to former military personnel who have completed at least one year of active duty or reserve service. Currently, individuals with prior military experience or training can be recalled for service up to the age of 47. Those who have not participated in military activities for over a decade are removed from the recruitment register. Under the proposed reform, this rule would be abolished, enabling the reactivation of thousands of experienced former service members. The committee's recommendation reflects growing security concerns in Europe and aligns with Sweden's long-term defense strategy. The Swedish Parliament has already approved a significant military spending increase, pledging 300 billion kronor ($31.4 billion), in addition to annual budget growth for defense. In parallel with the proposed age limit extension, Sweden has committed to increasing the number of conscripts undergoing basic training. According to the latest directive from the Swedish Ministry of Defense, at least 10,000 recruits will receive training by 2030, with that figure expected to rise to 12,000 annually in subsequent years. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream
