Sweden have reintroduced the military draft in emergency measures designed to deal with the growing threat of a war with Russia.
Both men and women are expected to perform military duty as a conflict between Europe and Russia looks almost certain.
“The security environment in Europe and in Sweden’s vicinity has deteriorated and the all-volunteer recruitment hasn’t provided the Armed Forces with enough trained personnel,” the Swedish defense ministry said. “The re-activating of the conscription is needed for military readiness.“
USA Today reports:
A defense ministry spokesperson says 4,000 men and women will be called up in July for service beginning in January 2018. They will be drawn from some 13,000 people born in 1999.
