German Minehunter Units Face 50 Percent Personnel Shortage
Germany is working toward a military structure that includes 260,000 active-duty soldiers and 460,000 total personnel including reserves. However, some commentary suggests the buildup is primarily for Germany's own interests. The Bundeswehr has stated it will not lower requirements for minehunter training to increase pass rates. Current failure rates for divers are approximately 50%. Officials noted that lowering standards would create safety risks for divers due to potential panic or unsuitability. Maintaining these standards is intended to protect both individual divers and others in the water. The source noted that certain training components may eventually be deemed unacceptable if safety standards are not met. The source noted that any changes to these standards should not come as a surprise to the public.
