According to Hulkko, a large number of young people who want to serve in the armed forces cannot do so because of their poor physical condition. The primary goal of the change is to allow conscripts who are unable to meet stringent physical requirements to perform tasks that require mental health in a safe environment.
The Defense Forces plan to introduce a new service class B2. The current classes are A and B. Class A conscripts can participate in all missions, while Class B members cannot participate in certain missions, such as combat, due to their medical condition.
The introduction of Class B2, which has less stringent physical fitness requirements, is intended to increase the recruitment of women in particular and help the military monitor and prevent non-physical threats such as cyber attacks.
