On June 30, 2011, the era of the German Bundeswehr as a conscription army ends, at least for the time being. In HSFK-Report No. 11/2010 "Bundeswehr ohne Wehrpflichtige. Was folgt daraus für die Parlamentsarmee im Einsatz?" (Bundeswehr without draftees. What are the consequences for the German parliamentary army and military deployments?), Berthold Meyer reveals the difficult history of this significant event and provides recommendations for the new all-volunteer German military in regard to international challenges.
