The army wants to reform its training structures for recruits this year. It starts with three brigades. Soldiers will then no longer go through general basic training followed by special basic training. Instead, they should receive the new basic training. The reason for the reform is inadequate combat training in the existing system.
Basic training is a formative time for soldiers. In these first months of their service, they immerse themselves in the world of the Bundeswehr and learn their first basic military skills. The army is currently providing three months of general basic training for its new recruits
