France: 10 Month Voluntary Military Service
November 27th, 2025Via: France24:
Macron announced Thursday that France is restoring military service on a voluntary basis in the face of the growing threat posed by Russia and the risk of a new conflict breaking out in Europe.
Almost three decades after France scrapped conscription, the head of state unveiled the new programme during a visit to an infantry brigade stationed in southeastern France.
“A new national service is set to be gradually established, starting from next summer,” Macron said in a speech at the Varces military base, in the French Alps.
