More underage recruits
Joining the Bundeswehr at 17
Status: 31.03.2024
Despite the personnel offensive, the number of recruits in the Bundeswehr has remained almost unchanged in 2023. However, the proportion of 17-year-olds has risen - despite the German government's efforts to the contrary. The Bundeswehr recruited around 18,800 new soldiers last year. The proportion of underage recruits rose again: 1,996 soldiers were only 17 years old at the time of their recruitment. This corresponds to a share of 10.6 percent after 9.4 percent in the previous year. This is according to an overview by the Federal Ministry of Defense.
