The military has announced a significant reduction in reserve deployment, following a directive from political leaders to cut 20,000 reservists for the coming year. This decision will lower the reserve force from 60,000 to 40,000 personnel. The reduction will also affect various units, including command staffs in both combat and home front formations. As a result of these cuts, remaining reservists are expected to face longer duty periods with fewer leave days, increasing the workload on those still in service.
