To bring Germany’s ailing armed forces back on track, the government is reorganising its operative command and making cyber and IT a full-fledged military branch on par with the navy, air force and ground forces, Defence Minister Boris Pistorius announced on Thursday (4 April).
Germany has been undergoing a profound shift since Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz promising a ‘turn of the times’ (Zeitenwende) in rebuilding its underfunded defence capabilities.
In a similar vein, Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has been pushing to get the armed forces “ready for war”, as he has stressed, ushering in his commissioning of a new structure for the army this autumn, less than a year after he took office.
