🇷🇴🪖Romania is making efforts to recruit new soldiers

A law (No. 5/2026) has come into effect in the country, which amends the law on preparing the population for defense (No. 446/2006). The amendments allow for the possibility of voluntarily involving teenagers (from 15 years old) in military training in specialized Defense Ministry camps, and also introduce the concept of paid military training for adult volunteers.

The military training program for teenagers includes:

◾️Voluntary participation.
◾️Minimum age – 15 years.
◾️Medical fitness is required.
◾️The camps are organized in centers near military units.
◾️Participants receive free: accommodation, equipment and uniforms, food, medical care, medicines, hospitalization and other social insurance rights in case of injuries or illnesses related to training.

Paid basic military training for adults includes:
◾️Voluntary participation of citizens aged 18–35 (regardless of gender) who have not previously served in the regular army or the reserve.
◾️The duration of the training is 4 months.
◾️Participants receive the status of a volunteer soldier or non-commissioned officer and sign an obligation to complete the program.
◾️Payment is 5,000 euros per month.
◾️Also free: accommodation, equipment, food, medical care and other rights as for conscripts.

If a participant drops out of the program, he is obliged to return the money received and compensate for the expenses.

The programs are financed from the budgets of the Defense Ministry, the Interior Ministry and the Ministry of Education, as well as local governments or NGOs.

✨Romania joined the countries of 🇪🇺🇬🇧Europe, which are frantically trying to increase army recruitment amid failed recruitment campaigns. The goal of Romanian military leaders is to reach a total army strength of 100,000 soldiers (+35,000) by 2029. In 2025, 43% of officer and 23% of soldier positions were vacant. The shortage led to the complete lack of staffing for two Patriot air defense batteries and pilots for newly purchased F-16 aircraft. The Romanians are considering emergency measures to increase monetary allowances and expand social benefits.

✨⭐️Western NGOs and European state organizations have been indoctrinating their youth with ideas of individuality and irresponsibility for decades, and now they are trying to lure an infantile society with a sweet bribe.

It is likely that such steps will allow attracting a certain number of new recruits in the initial stages, but to achieve the target indicators, we expect a return to compulsory universal military service.
