It said it was working on a bill concerning the introduction of an auxiliary reserve of the State, i.e. of the Armed Forces, composed of no more than ten thousand units, as already called for in Law 119 of 2022, introduced by the previous government.
The reserve - once recruited, formed and periodically trained - could be composed of ex-military personnel or personnel with certain specifications.
The reservists would be deployable in cases of need during possible conflicts and international crises.
Allegedly, they would not be deployed on the front lines in operational theatres, but instead for logistical support and cooperation.
In the past, Defence Minister Guido Crosetto had already announced to the parliamentary defence committees the intention of this legislative intervention.
