FAMAGUSTA GAZETTE – Greece’s Ministry of National Defense has announced a comprehensive reform plan to revamp the country’s reserve system, with a target of 150,000 active reservists by 2030, Defense Minister Nikos Dendias has confirmed.
The initiative, part of the government’s “Agenda 2030” strategy, was introduced at the Hellenic Military Academy in Athens.
The reforms aim to enhance reservist training through drones, simulators, and digital platforms.
Scheduled every three to five years, training cycles will last between three and six days.
Cumulative training will amount to 80 days for enlisted reservists and 150 days for reserve officers.
These changes are part of broader modernization efforts under “Agenda 2030,” which include upgrading air and naval forces, strengthening cyber and drone capabilities, restructuring military units for efficiency, and improving healthcare and housing services for military personnel.
